Usage |
16α-Hydroxyprednisolone is an intermediate in the production of glucocorticoid APIs, serving as a crucial raw material for the synthesis of approved ned-type drugs (such as triamcinolone, budesonide, ciclesonide, and desonide). Ned-type drugs belong to inhaled glucocorticoids, characterized by local application, low dosage, strong local anti-inflammatory effects, and minimal systemic side effects. They are widely used in the treatment of refractory asthma and inflammation.
