`
`Ditluprednate is a topil corticosteroid indicated for the trtrnent of infammation and pain associated with ocular surgery. It is a
`butyrate ester of 6(a), 9(a)—difluoro prednisolone acetate. Difluprednate is abbreviated DFBA, or difluoroprednisolone butyrate
`acetate. It is indicated for treatment of endogenous anterior uveiti.

`
`Clearance
`
`Corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins). It is postulated that these
`proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of infammation such as prostaglandiris and leukotrienes by inhibiting the
`relse of their common precursor arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by
`phospholipase A2.
`
`Difluprednate penetrates the corneal epithelium rapidly and effectively. Low systemic absorption.

`
`Difluprednate is rapidly deacetylated in the aqueous humor to difluoroprednisolone butyrate (DFB), the drug's active metabolite.
`Endogenous tissue esterases then metabolize DFB to the inert metabolite hydroxytluoroprednisolorie butyrate (HFB), which limits
`systemic exposure to the active compound.
