Prednisolone

A synthetic glucocorticoid introduced in 1955 together with prednisone: it is a potent anti-inflammatory that retains less salt than cortisol, and is used in asthma, allergies, rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?It owes its existence to a bacterium: chemist Arthur Nobile discovered that Corynebacterium simplex turns cortisol (hydrocortisone) into prednisolone by adding a double bond to the molecule.
