A prodrug form of desisobutyryl-ciclesonide; binds to the glucocorticoid receptor (Ki = 37 nM); selective for the glucocorticoid receptor over the estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone receptors; inhibits eosinophil influx into the lung (ED50 = 0.49 mg/kg) and reduces sephadex-induced lung edema (ED50 = 0.72 mg/kg) in a rat model of ovalbumin-sensitized and -challenged airway inflammation
