Isoflupredone acetate is a corticosteroids with anti-inflammatory activity. Isoflupredone acetate can be used for research ketosis, musculoskeletal disorders, hypersensitivity, infections, inflammatory diseases in cows, horse, pigs, et al.[1][2].
Isoflupredone acetate (10-4, 10-7, or 10-10 M; 48 or 96 h)mitigates the inflammatory and catabolic effects of IL-1β in synovial and osteochondral explants (from equine cadavers) to a greater extent in low concentrations (10-7 M and 10-10 M) than the high concentration (10-4 M)[1].
Isoflupredone acetate (0.05 mg/kg; i.m.; on days 2 and 4 after the challenge) prevents dry-matter intake and average daily gain reductions, and leads to faster Mannheimia haemolytica-infected clinical improvement when co-treated with Oxytetracycline [2].
| Animal Model: | 96 weanling heifers (Bronchopneumonia was induced by intrabronchial infusion of Mannheimia haemolytica)[2] |
| Dosage: | 0.05 mg/kg |
| Administration: | i.m.; on days 2 and 4 after the challenge |
| Result: | Infection caused a reduction in dry-matter intake and average daily gain (ADG) in heifers.Prevented these reductions and resulted in faster clinical improvement when co-treated with Oxytetracycline . |
