Corticosteroids are synthetic analogs of adrenal hormones used to treat inflammation. Core synthesis involves semisynthesis from steroidal precursors like diosgenin. Key parameters include the molecular formula and CAS number for specific agents, such as Prednisone (C21H26O5, CAS 50-24-8).
Strict adherence to clinical dosing limits is required to avoid immunosuppression. Store in cool, dry environments below 25°C. Personnel must wear PPE during handling to prevent dermal absorption.
