Difluprednate is a synthetic glucocorticoid that potently activates the glucocorticoid receptor (Ki = 78 pM). In vivo, ocular administration of difluprednate (0.05% w/v) increases intraocular pressure in sheep. Formulations containing difluprednate have been used to treat diabetic macular edema and inflammation following cataract surgery.
