Loteprednol etabonate is a soft corticosteroid used primarily in ophthalmology. Its core synthesis involves esterification to ensure rapid metabolic breakdown into inactive metabolites, minimizing intraocular pressure elevation. The chemical formula is C24H30O6 and CAS number is 59478-18-1.
Avoid use in active viral, fungal, or mycobacterial eye infections due to immunosuppression risks. Store below 25°C in tightly sealed containers away from direct light. Monitor intraocular pressure during prolonged therapy to prevent glaucoma development.
