Overview

Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid used as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant.

Deflazacort is an inactive prodrug which is metabolized rapidly to the active drug 21-desacetyldeflazacort.[1] Its potency is around 70–90% that of prednisone.[2]

It is sold in Bangladesh as Xalcort, marketed by Beacon Pharmaceuticals Limited, in the United Kingdom by Shire under the trade name Calcort;[2] in Brazil as Cortax, Decortil, and Deflanil; in India as MOAID, Defolet(Roussette), DFZ, Decotaz, and DefZot; in Panama as Zamen, Spain as Zamene and in Honduras as Flezacor.[3] It is not available in the United States. In January 2015, the FDA granted fast track status to Marathon Pharmaceuticals to pursue approval of deflazacort as a potential treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The company expects to make deflazacort available in the United States in 2016. [4]
