| RIMEXOLONE (100 MG) Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Rimexolone, an ophthalmic corticosteroid, was launched in 1995 in the U.S.A. for
the treatment of postoperative inflammation following ocular surgery and anterior
uveitis. Rimexolone has high corticoid receptor affinity and is a potent local
antiinflammatory agent with minimal systemic effects and virtually no atrophogenic
action in many animal models studied, unique among a wide range of topical steroids.
Rapid onset, long duration of action plus a superior safety profile are characteristics of
rimexolone. It was also approved in Europe for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and
is currently in clinical trials for tendinitis and osteoarthritis. | | Originator | Akzo (Netherlands) | | Uses | Anti-inflammatory (local). | | Brand name | Vexol (Alcon). | | General Description | Rimexolone, 11β-hydroxy-16α,17α-dimethyl-17-(1-oxopropyl)androsta-1,4-diene-3-one,like medrysone and fluorometholone, lacks the C21 OHgroup. In addition, rimexolone has an additional methylgroup in the 17 -position, a site where an OH group is typicallyfound. Rimexolone is available as a suspension forophthalmic use. |
