The biological properties of Org 6216, a new type of steroid with a selective local anti-inflammatory action

P K Fox et al. Arzneimittelforschung. 1980.

Abstract

11 beta-Hydroxy-16 alpha, 17 alpha, 21-trimethyl-pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione(ORG 6216) is a novel type of anti-inflammatory steroid which displays a dissociation of local from systemic effects in a range of animal models. Moreover, ORG 6216 is exceptional in that it has not shown any significant atrophogenic activity in the skin when administered either topically or intracutaneously in animal models.
