Pharmacological Properties

Pharmacodynamics

Methylprednisolone aceponate (6α-methylprednisolone aceponate) suppresses inflammatory and allergic skin reactions as well as reactions associated with cellular hyperproliferation when applied topically, thereby alleviating both objective symptoms (erythema, edema, maceration) and subjective complaints (pruritus, burning, pain).

It is known that methylprednisolone aceponate binds directly to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. This particularly applies to its main metabolite—6α-methylprednisolone-17-propionate—which is formed following cleavage in the skin.

Binding of the "receptor–steroid" complex to a specific region of the DNA molecule initiates a cascade of biological effects.

The binding of the "receptor–steroid" complex induces the synthesis of macrocortin. Macrocortin inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, thereby reducing the formation of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

The immunosuppressive effect of glucocorticosteroids can be explained by inhibition of cytokine synthesis and by an antimitotic effect, which has not yet been fully elucidated.

Inhibition of the synthesis of vasodilatory prostaglandins or potentiation of the vasoconstrictive effect of adrenaline ultimately results in the vasoconstrictive activity of glucocorticosteroids.

Methylprednisolone aceponate (6α-methylprednisolone aceponate) is a non-halogenated synthetic corticosteroid molecule characterized by a high degree of dissociation between its local and systemic effects.

The 6α-methyl group enhances activity, while the lipophilic ester groups ensure better penetration through the skin.

The local anti-inflammatory effect, confirmed by pharmacological and clinical-pharmacological studies, is comparable to that of more potent corticosteroids. Systemic effects of methylprednisolone aceponate following topical application are minimal, according to study data.

Pharmacokinetics

Methylprednisolone aceponate is hydrolyzed in the epidermis and dermis to form 6α-methylprednisolone-17-propionate, its main metabolite, which binds more strongly to corticosteroid receptors than the parent compound—clear evidence of cutaneous bioactivation.

The percentage and total extent of transdermal absorption of a topical corticosteroid depend on several factors, including the chemical structure of the compound, excipients, concentration of the compound in the vehicle, conditions of application (surface area treated, duration of exposure, open or occlusive application), and skin characteristics (type and severity of pathology, anatomical location).

Transdermal absorption of methylprednisolone aceponate in cream form was studied in healthy volunteers. With the use of occlusive dressings containing 15 g of methylprednisolone aceponate cream applied twice daily for 7 days, the mean transdermal absorption was approximately 2.5%, corresponding to a systemic corticosteroid load of approximately 10 μg/kg/day. Transdermal absorption of methylprednisolone aceponate was significantly increased under conditions of experimentally damaged skin, such as removal of the stratum corneum.

After entering the bloodstream, the main hydrolysis product of methylprednisolone aceponate, 6α-methylprednisolone-17-propionate, rapidly conjugates with glucuronic acid and is thus inactivated.

Metabolites of methylprednisolone aceponate (mainly 6α-methylprednisolone-17-propionate-21-glucuronide) are primarily excreted via urine, with a half-life of approximately 16 hours. Following intravenous administration, complete elimination via urine and feces occurs within 7 days. No accumulation of the active substance or its metabolites in the body has been observed.

Clinical characteristics.

Indications.

Atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis, endogenous eczema); true (actual) eczema; simple contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis; dyshidrotic eczema, infantile eczema.

Contraindications.

  • Hypersensitivity to methylprednisolone aceponate or to any other component of the drug;
  • tuberculous or syphilitic processes in the area of application; viral infections (e.g., varicella, herpes zoster), rosacea, perioral dermatitis, ulcerative skin lesions, common acne, atrophic dermatitis, skin reactions following vaccination at the site of application; skin diseases associated with bacterial or fungal infections (see section "Special precautions").

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction.

No data available.

Due to absorption when treating large skin areas or prolonged therapy, interactions similar to those observed during systemic therapy may occur. However, to date, no such interactions have been reported.

If it is necessary to use any other medicinal products simultaneously, consult a physician.

Special precautions for use

Glucocorticoids should be used only at the lowest possible doses, especially in children, and only for the minimal duration necessary to achieve and maintain the desired therapeutic effect.

When treating pathological processes affecting large areas of skin, the duration of therapy should be strictly defined by the physician and kept as short as possible.

In cases of bacterial skin infections and/or fungal skin involvement, additional specific treatment with antibacterial and/or antifungal agents is required.

Local skin infections may worsen during topical application of glucocorticoids.

The use of this medicinal product should be avoided in facial areas affected by rosacea or perioral dermatitis.

When using Sterocort® cream, contact with the eyes and application to deep open wounds or mucous membranes should be avoided.

In healthy adults, application of methylprednisolone aceponate to 60% of the body surface under occlusive dressing for 22 hours has been associated with reduced plasma cortisol levels and disruption of its circadian rhythm. Such treatment regimens should be used as infrequently as possible. In children, application of the drug to large skin areas (40–90% of body surface), without occlusion (in newborns, diapers may act as occlusive dressings), has not been associated with adrenal suppression. Nevertheless, when applying the drug to large skin areas, treatment duration should be kept as short as possible.

The risk of adverse effects significantly increases when topical corticosteroids are applied over large body areas or for prolonged periods, particularly under occlusive dressings. Treatment with occlusive dressings should be avoided unless specifically indicated. It should be remembered that diapers, nappies, and areas prone to intertrigo may produce effects similar to those of occlusive dressings.

When treating large body surface areas, treatment duration should be kept as short as possible, since complete exclusion of systemic absorption and systemic effects is not possible.

Inappropriate use of this medicinal product, as with all other corticosteroids, may mask clinical symptoms.

If skin becomes excessively dry during prolonged use of Sterocort® cream, switching to a different pharmaceutical form with a higher fat content is recommended.

As with systemic corticosteroid use, topical application may lead to glaucoma (e.g., after high-dose or long-term use on large areas, use under occlusive dressings, or application around the eyes).

Prolonged use of topically applied medicinal products may lead to sensitization. In such cases, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy initiated.

The product contains cetostearyl alcohol, which may cause local skin reactions such as contact dermatitis.

The product contains propylene glycol, which may cause skin irritation.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding

Currently, there are no reliable data on the use of Sterocort® in pregnant women; however, the risk is expected to be minimal due to the very low likelihood of systemic effects from topically applied corticosteroids.

Animal studies using methylprednisolone aceponate at doses exceeding the therapeutic dose have shown embryotoxic and/or teratogenic effects.

This product should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless clearly necessary and under strict medical supervision.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, topical use of corticosteroid-containing products should preferably be avoided. Throughout pregnancy, large skin areas should not be treated, prolonged use should be avoided, and use under occlusive dressings is not recommended.

Some epidemiological studies suggest a possible increased risk of cleft palate in newborns whose mothers received corticosteroid treatment during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Sterocort® cream should be prescribed to pregnant women only after careful assessment of the benefit-risk ratio.

Mouse studies have shown that methylprednisolone aceponate does not penetrate into breast milk. However, it is unknown whether methylprednisolone aceponate passes into human breast milk, as systemically administered corticosteroids have been detected in women's breast milk. It is also unknown whether topical application of Sterocort® cream could lead to systemic absorption of methylprednisolone aceponate in amounts detectable in human breast milk. Therefore, Sterocort® cream should be used with caution in breastfeeding women.

During breastfeeding, the product should not be applied to the mammary glands. Particular care should be taken to avoid prolonged use, application to large skin areas, or use under occlusive dressings.

There is no information available on the effect of methylprednisolone aceponate on fertility.

Ability to affect reaction speed when driving or operating machinery

Not established.

Method of Administration and Dosage

The product should usually be applied once daily as a thin layer to the affected areas of skin, unless otherwise directed by a physician.

The Sterocort® cream formulation (1 g of Sterocort® cream contains 1 mg of methylprednisolone aceponate), due to its increased water content, promotes exudate drainage and is therefore particularly suitable for the treatment of weeping eczematous lesions in the acute phase, as well as areas of skin with maceration, whether or not covered with hair.

The duration of treatment in typical cases should not exceed 12 weeks for adults and 4 weeks for children. There are no data on the safety of using Sterocort® cream in children under 4 months of age.

When using Sterocort® cream to treat children aged 4 months and older, no dose adjustment is required.

Children. There are no data on the safety of using Sterocort® cream in children under 4 months of age. It is recommended to consult a physician before using the cream in children aged 4 months to 3 years.

When using Sterocort® cream to treat children aged 4 months and older, no dose adjustment is required.

The duration of treatment in children should not exceed 4 weeks in typical cases.

Sterocort® cream must not be used under occlusive dressings in children. It should be remembered that diapers and nappies may produce the same effect as an occlusive dressing.

Overdose.

In cases of cutaneous atrophoderma associated with overdose due to topical application of the drug, treatment should be discontinued. Symptoms usually regress within 10–14 days.

Acute toxicity studies with methylprednisolone aceponate have shown no risk of acute intoxication following a single excessive topical application (application over a large body surface area under conditions favoring absorption) or after accidental oral ingestion of the product.

Adverse reactions.

During clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse effects with methylprednisolone aceponate cream were burning and itching at the application site.

The frequency of adverse reactions observed during clinical studies (listed in the table below) was determined according to MedDRA [Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities] (version 12.0): very common (>1/10); common (>1/100, <1/10); uncommon (>1/1000, <1/100); rare (>1/10,000, <1/1000); very rare (<1/10,000); frequency not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
