Not all Herbal Extracts are Equal! Only a few have therapeutic potential (AAD 2025) - "Eight of 47 commercially available extracts were found to have significant anti-inflammatory effect superior to or comparable to prescription mometasone, desonide and dexamethasone. Five of these also produced significant inhibition of cutaneous pathogenic bacteria and yeast. Caution is needed in selection of extracts from the species within an herbal family due to large variation of therapeutic activity."

New Eye Drop Formulation Based on Desonide and Xanthan Gum in Dry Eye Disease: Nonclinical Studies. (PubMed, Pharmaceutics) - "This study aimed to evaluate its pharmacodynamic properties and to characterize its rheological behavior and mucoadhesive characteristics, compared to another formulation containing 0.2% hyaluronic acid and 0.001% hydrocortisone (HYD). The ancillary anti-inflammatory effects of a low dose of DES combined with the biophysical properties of xanthan gum are supportive of a favorable therapeutic profile, promoting the maintenance or restoration of ocular surface homeostasis while minimizing the risk of adverse effects typically associated with standard-dose corticosteroids. The comparison with another low-dose corticosteroid highlights the superiority of XanterDES in pharmacodynamic and biophysical performance."

Glucocorticoids rescue cell surface trafficking of R451C Neuroligin3 and enhance synapse formation. (PubMed, Traffic) - "A screening in HEK-293 cells overexpressing NLGN3 of 2662 compounds (FDA-approved small molecule drug library), led to the identification of several glucocorticoids such as alclometasone dipropionate, desonide, prednisolone sodium phosphate, and dexamethasone (DEX), with the ability to favor the exit of full-length R451C NLGN3 from the ER. The effect of DEX was validated on a novel model system represented by neural stem progenitor cells and differentiated neurons derived from the R451C NLGN3 knock-in mouse, expressing the endogenous protein. This work shows a potential rescue strategy for an autism-linked mutation affecting cell surface trafficking of a synaptic protein."
