The systematic activities of methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate (1), a new local anti-inflammatory steroid synthesized by modifying the 17β-ketol side-chain of prednisolone, on pituitary-adrenal function and liver glycogen content were investigated in rats.The parent compound, prednisolone, administered intramuscularly, caused a significant dose-related decrease in plasma levels of corticosterone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and liver glycogen content in rats.In contrast, methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate caused mild PA supression and liver glycogen depletion only at high doses.The steroid acid ester did not exert glycogenic activity, unlike prednisolone, in the adrenalectomized rats.

Novel prednisolone derivatives modified at C-17,C-20 and/or C-21 positions. Many of the compounds are anti-inflammatory agents which do not significantly suppress the pituitary-adrenal axis.
