prednisolone sodium metasulfobenzoate

Prednisolone sodium metasulfobenzoate is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid, used primarily as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agent. It is a salt form of prednisolone designed for improved delivery, including colon-targeted formulations (e.g. ATL-2502/Colal-Pred). Like other corticosteroids, it acts by binding to the **glucocorticoid receptor**, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals and promoting anti-inflammatory effects. It is indicated for various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions such as asthma, ulcerative colitis, and other diseases where immune suppression or inflammation reduction is required[3][5][1]. The drug may be formulated in oral solid dosage forms such as tablets or granules[5].
