Loteprednol etabonate is a synthetic corticosteroid and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) primarily used in ophthalmology for treating inflammation and pain in various eye conditions. As a high-purity white to off-white powder (97.5-100%), it serves as the key component in ophthalmic formulations such as eye drops. It is indicated for post-operative inflammation after eye surgery, allergic conjunctivitis, uveitis, and other inflammatory ocular disorders. The compound reduces the release of inflammatory mediators, alleviating swelling, redness, and discomfort. Its etabonate ester structure provides a lower risk of elevating intraocular pressure compared to other steroids, making it suitable for extended therapy. This specialty chemical is confirmed by infrared spectrum, NMR, and purity assays.
