Biological Activity

Description	Difluprednate (difluoroprednisolone butyrate acetate, DFBA, CM 9155) is a synthetic difluorinated prednisolone derivative, it is originally developed for dermatologic applications.

In vitro
In vitro	The difluprednate emulsion formulation begin by suspending DFBA in a variety of oils (castor, cottonseed, medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride, oleic, olive, peanut, and soybean). ^[1] Difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion's active metabolite, 6α,9-difluoroprednisolone 17-butyrate (DFB), has the lowest Ki value (611 nM) for the glucocorticoid receptor and is significantly more active than prednisolone, which has a K_i value of 3.4 nM. ^[2]

In Vivo
In vivo	Difluprednate emulsion is rapidly deacetylated in the aqueous humor to difluoroprednisolone butyrate (DFB) in rats and rabbits, the drug’s active metabolite, which has a similar corticosteroid activity profile. Radio-labeled difluprednate is instilled in the right eyes of pigmented rabbits in a separate study examining DFBA excretion. Difluprednate (0.05% emulsion) results in higher aqueous humor concentrations than the suspension form in the eyes of rabbits. Difluprednate concentrations ≥0.01% shows a statistically significant inhibition of inflammation compared to saline in a rabbit model, with the anti-inflammatory response proceeding in a dose-dependent manner. Difluprednate suppresses uveitis in all three concentration (0.002%, 0.01%, and 0.05%) in a dose-dependent manner in rats, and difluprednate 0.05% shows statistically superior anti-inflammatory activity compared to Betamethasone (0.1%). ^[1]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
