PubChem CID: 225609
Fludrocortisone acetate is an acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the primary hydroxy group of fludrocortisone with acetic acid. A synthetic corticosteroid, it has glucocorticoid actions about 10 times as potent as hydrocortisone, while its mineralocorticoid actions are over 100 times as potent. It is used in partial replacement therapy for primary and secondary adrenocortical insufficiency in Addison's disease and for the treatment of salt-losing adrenal hyperplasia. It is a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone, a mineralocorticoid, a 17alpha-hydroxy steroid, an 11beta-hydroxy steroid, a 20-oxo steroid, an acetate ester, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and a fluorinated steroid. It is functionally related to a fludrocortisone.
