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.[1]
Fluocinonide is shown to be effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and oral lichen planus (OLP).[2][3]

Oral lichen planus is a common, chronic mucosal disease associated with a cell-mediated immunological dysfunction. The clinical manifestation is different when various forms, white and red, are considered. Erosive, atrophic, ulcerative lesions require long-term treatment, because of inflammation and severe
Adherence in the treatment of chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis is poor. Methods to improve adherence have proven difficult. To determine whether a short course of treatment with a high-potency corticosteroid will improve adherence compared to longer

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) may be associated with the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. We investigated whether SEB causes proliferation of sensory C-fibers and subsequent enhancement of plasma leakage induced by sensorineural stimulation in rat skin. SEB was applied intracutaneously to
