Biochem/physiol Actions

Flucinonide is a fluorinated glucocorticid that is used as a topical anti-inflammatory agent. Recently, flucinonide and other fluorinated glucocorticolids were identified as smoothend agonists. Flucinonide induces expression of Gli-reporter luciferase in Shh-LIGHT2 cells.
Fluocinonide has been used to study its effect on T-cell proliferation.
Fluocinonide is shown to be effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and oral lichen planus (OLP).
