Description
Cortisone acetate, also known as 21-(acetyloxy)-17-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,11,20-trione, is a synthetic glucocorticoid derived from the naturally occurring cortisone. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties and is known for its good systemic anti-inflammatory activity and low-to-moderate salt-retention activity after its in vivo conversion to hydrocortisone acetate. This conversion is mediated by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Cortisone acetate is a solid and is relatively ineffective topically, mainly because it must be reduced in vivo to hydrocortisone.
Uses
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Cortisone acetate is used as an anti-inflammatory agent for treating various conditions such as collagen diseases, Addison's disease, severe shock, allergic conditions, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and many other indications. It is bioavailable and readily converted to the therapeutically active form, hydrocortisone.
Used in Dermatological Applications:
Cortisone acetate is used as a topical medication for relieving inflammation and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. It is also used in the treatment of immune and allergic disorders.
Used in Veterinary Medicine:
Cortisone acetate is used in rabbits to decrease the size of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine-induced dermal lesions and tuberculin reactions when administered at 2 mg/kg on alternate days over the course of 46 days. It also reduces the number and percentage of activated lesion-infiltrating mononuclear cells and decreases the amount of caseous necrosis and ulceration. Additionally, cortisone acetate (2.5 mg/kg per day, s.c.) slows tissue regeneration in a rabbit model of wound healing.
Used in Research:
Cortisone acetate is used to study its effects on the number of dexamethasone binding sites on isolated human lymphocytes, as it has been shown to decrease these sites by 30%.

Manufacturing Process
The following technique is described in US Patent 2,541,104. A solution of 2.0
g of 3(α)-hydroxy-21-acetoxy-11,20-diketo-pregnane, which can be prepared
as described in Helv. Chim. Acta 27, 1287 (1944), is treated in a mixture of
25 cc of alcohol and 6.4 cc of acetic acid at 0°C with 6.0 g of potassiumcyanide. The solution is allowed to warm to room temperature and after 3
hours is diluted with water. The addition of a large volume of water to the
alcohol-hydrogen cyanide mixture precipitates a gum which is extracted with
chloroform or ethyl acetate. The extract is washed with water, and evaporated
to small volume under reduced pressure. The crystalline precipitate (1.3 g)
consists of 3(α),20-dihydroxy-20-cyano-21-acetoxy-11-keto-pregnane; dec.
175° to 185°C.A solution of 0.60 g of chromic acid in 1.2 cc of water and 11 cc of acetic acid
is added to a solution containing about 1.2 g of 3(α),20-dihydroxy-20-cyano-
21-acetoxy-11-ketopregnane at room temperature. After 1 hour, water is
added and the product, which precipitates, is filtered and recrystallized from
ethyl acetate to produce 3,11-diketo-20-hydroxy-20-cyano-21-acetoxypregnane; dec. 214° to 217°C.
0.40 cc of phosphorus oxychloride is added to a solution containing about 950
mg of 3,11-diketo-20-hydroxy-20-cyano-21-acetoxy-pregnane dissolved in 3
cc of pyridine. After standing at room temperature for 24 hours, the solution
is poured into water and dilute hydrochloric acid, extracted with benzene and
concentrated to dryness. The crude product, after chromatography gives one
main constituent, namely δ17-3,11-diketo-20-cyano-21-acetoxy-pregnene; MP
189° to 190°C.
A solution of 1.0 g of δ17-3,11-diketo-20-cyano-21-acetoxy-pregnene in 10 cc
of benzene is treated with 1.0 g of osmium tetroxide and 0.43 g of pyridine.
After standing at room temperature for 18 hours, the resulting solution is
treated successively with 50 cc of alcohol, and with 50 cc of water containing
2.5 g of sodium sulfite. The mixture is stirred for 30 hours, filtered, and the
filtrate acidified with 0.5 cc of acetic acid and concentrated to small volume in
vacuo. The aqueous suspension is then extracted four times with chloroform,
the chloroform extracts are combined, washed with water and concentrated to
dryness in vacuo. Recrystallization of the residue from acetone gives 9°C. This
compound is then treated with acetic anhydride and pyridine for 15 minutes at
room temperature to produce 3,11,20-triketo-17(α)-hydroxy-21-acetoxypregnane or cortisone acetate.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 50-04-4 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 50-04:
(4*5)+(3*0)+(2*0)+(1*4)=24
24 % 10 = 4
So 50-04-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
