🔬 Pharmacology (PK/PD)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionInhaled beclometasone is absorbed rapidly from the lungs with some oral absorption from the swallowed portion.

DistributionDistributes widely in the body; crosses the placenta and enters breast milk.

Protein Binding87%

MetabolismMetabolized in the liver via CYP3A4 to active metabolite beclometasone-17-monopropionate (B17MP).

Half-Life2.8 hours (beclometasone); 2.7 hours (B17MP)

ExcretionPrimarily fecal (60%) and urinary (12%) as metabolites.

BioavailabilityApproximately 15-20% from inhaled dose; swallowed portion has low systemic bioavailability due to fi

Onset of ActionWithin 24-48 hours; maximal effect may take 1-2 weeks.

Peak Plasma Time0.5-1 hour after inhalation.

Duration of Action12-24 hours.

How It Works

Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation.

Mechanism Steps

1Inhaled beclometasone reaches the lungs and binds to glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in airway epithelial cells and inflammatory cells.

2The drug-receptor complex translocates to the nucleus and binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) on DNA.

3This binding modulates gene transcription: upregulates anti-inflammatory proteins (e.g., lipocortin-1) and downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-2, TNF-α).
