Pharmacodynamics:

The drug interacts with the intentricular receptors of glucocorticoids, facilitating the release of the receptor from binding to immunophilin and heat shock proteins 70 and 90. Penetration of the activated receptor into the nucleus, binding to glucocorticoid-sensitive regulatory elements of DNA - a specific effect on gene expression (activation and suppression). Interaction with other protein transcription factors, including NFκB and AP-1, regulating the expression of many proteins of the immune system, which leads to suppression of the expression of genes encoding some cytokines, collagenase and stromelysins.

The anti-inflammatory effect of mometasone is due to several factors.

1. The drug induces the synthesis of lipocortin, which inhibits the activity of phospholipase A2. Inhibition of phospholipase-mediated A2 hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids of damaged tissues prevents the formation of arachidonic acid. The disruption of the formation of arachidonic acid actually means inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins, since arachidonic acid is a substrate for further metabolism along the cyclooxygenase pathway, and also along the lipoxygenase pathway, with appropriate inhibition of leukotriene synthesis.

2.The anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids is potentiated by their ability to inhibit the expression of COX-2 genes, which also leads to a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins in the inflammatory focus, including pro-inflammatory prostaglandins E2 and I2.

3. Mometasone furoate inhibits the expression of molecules of intercellular adhesion in the endothelium of blood vessels, violating the penetration of neutrophils and monocytes into the focus of inflammation. After the introduction of glucocorticoids, an increase in the concentration of neutrophils in the blood (due to their entry from the bone marrow and the restriction of migration from the blood vessels) is noted. This causes a decrease in the number of neutrophils in the site of inflammation.

Mometasone furoate inhibits the transcription of cytokine genes that stimulate the inflammatory and immune response (IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8), as well as tumor necrosis factor (and some others). Also, a decrease in the transcription rate and an increase in the degradation of the receptor genes for IL-1 and IL-2, inhibition of transcription of the metalloproteinase (collagenase, elastase, etc.) genes involved in the increase permeability of the vascular wall, in the processes of scarring and destruction of cartilaginous tissue in diseases of the joints.

Immunosuppressive action is due to inhibition of transcription of DNA encoding the main histocompatibility complex, pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibition of proliferation of T lymphocytes. It leads to a decrease in the number of T-lymphocytes and their influence on B-lymphocytes, inhibits the production of immunoglobulins. Reduces the formation and increases the decomposition of components of the complement system.

The antiallergic effect is associated with the inhibition of the synthesis of mediators of allergy, degranulation of mast cells and release of mediators of allergy, and therefore it is effective for allergic reactions of immediate type.

Pharmacokinetics:

With intranasal application, the systemic bioavailability of mometasone furoate is <1%. Mometasone very poorly absorbed from the digestive tract.

A small amount of active substance, which can enter the digestive tract after intranasal administration, undergoes active metabolism during the "first passage" through the liver. It is excreted in urine and bile.

After inhalation, the systemic bioavailability of mometasone is low, in particular, due to low absorption and significant presystemic metabolism when mometasone is ingested.In various studies evaluating the effects of mometasone in the equilibrium state when administered as inhalation, and after a single intravenous injection, absolute bioavailability was approximately 16% in healthy patients and approximately 10% in patients with bronchial asthma. As a consequence, it is impossible to determine either the half-life or the volume of distribution of mometasone after inhalation. It is excreted in urine and bile.
Indications:

Therapy of bronchial asthma of any severity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; treatment of seasonal and all-year-round allergic rhinitis in adults, adolescents and children from 2 years; acute sinusitis; chronic sinusitis; acute rhinosinusitis without signs of bacterial infection; prevention of seasonal allergic rhinitis of moderate and severe course in adults and adolescents from the age of 12; polyposis of the nose; to relieve itching in dermatoses.
