Background

Ciclesonide is a prodrug of the potent glucocorticoid receptor agonist desisobutyryl-ciclesonide. Ciclesonide undergoes the hydrolysis process by ester cleavage at the C21 position to desisobutyryl-ciclesonide, followed by reversible formation of fatty acid esters in lung cells. Although both ciclesonide and desisobutyryl-ciclesonide are able to bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, the active metabolite desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (IC50 = 210 nM) is about 100-fold more potent than the parent compound ciclesonide (IC50 = 1.75 nM). Formulations containing ciclesonide have been used in the maintenance treatment of asthma and in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Protocol

Cell experiment:[2]

Cell lines

Normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells

Reaction Conditions

5 μM ciclesonide for 24 h incubation

Applications

Ciclesonide (5 μM) was rapidly hydrolyzed to desisobutyryl-ciclesonide by NHBE cells (approximately 30% conversion within the first 4 h), and 96% conversion of ciclesonide to desisobutyryl-ciclesonide was achieved at 24 h.

Animal experiment:[3]

Animal models

Ovalbumin-sensitized and challenged Brown Norway rats

Dosage form

0 ~ 10 mg/kg

Administered by the intratracheal route into the airways 24 and 1 h before exposure to inhaled antigen

Applications

Ciclesonide dose-dependently suppressed the antigen-induced influx of eosinophils into the airway lumen, with an ED50 value of 0.75 mg/kg. Moreover, ciclesonide significantly inhibited eosinophil influx into the lung tissue, with an ED50 value of 0.49 mg/kg.
