05.0 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
05.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: androgens for topical use.
ATC code: D11AE.
Mechanism of action
Of the two active ingredients of Trofodermin, clostebol acetate, a derivative of testosterone, exerts a trophic-healing effect and determines a net shortening of the repair time of cutaneous and cutaneous-mucous lesions. It owes this effect to the property common to all anabolic steroids of activating the cellular biochemical mechanisms delegated to protein synthesis and that is to the formation of the most important building material on which the granulation and re-epithelialization process ultimately depend. The second component of Trofodermin, neomycin, acts favorably on the same process indirectly, eliminating or preventing the establishment of a local infection, which is notoriously the most important factor in delaying the evolution of wounds towards healing.
05.2 "Pharmacokinetic properties
Absorption
After local application of the labeled steroid on the de-epithelialized skin of volunteers, clostebol acetate showed a very poor systemic absorption (documented by the urinary radioactivity measurement).
05.3 Preclinical safety data
Subacute toxicity tests carried out in rabbits for repeated local application for 15 days at a dose of 1 g / kg excluded changes in body weight, consumption of food and water, diuresis, blood count and azotemia and bilirubinemia. as well as the weight of the internal organs The skin of the treated animals showed locally significantly less alterations than those treated with the excipient alone.
