Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology like other topical corticosteroids, desonide has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical steroids, in general, is unclear. however, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase a 2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. it is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid. arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase a 2 . pharmacokinetics the extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier. occlusive dressing with hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours have not been demonstrated to increase penetration; however, occlusion of hydrocortisone for 96 hours mark
