 | 
| Pharmacology: | Amcinonide is a topical corticosteroid. The topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids used as anti-inflammatory and antipruritic
 agents. Amcinonide reduces or inhibits the actions of chemicals in the body that
 cause inflammation, redness, and swelling. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory
 activity of the topical corticosteroids is unclear. Various laboratory methods,
 including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or
 clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to
 suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and
 therapeutic efficacy in man. When in an ointment form, amcinonide also helps the
 skin maintain moisture.
 | 
| Mechanism_of_action: | The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical steroids, in general, is unclear. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of
 phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is
 postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of
 inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of
 their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane
 phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Amcinonide has affinity for the glucocorticoid
 receptor. It has weak affinity for the progesterone receptor, and virtually no
 affinity for the mineralocorticoid, estrogen, or androgen receptors.
