Description
ATL-2502(Colal-Pred) is an old drug (prednisolone metasulphobenzoate, a steroid) with a new delivery system that releases the medication only in the colon.
Releasing the drug directly into the colon reduces the potential for significant side effects often experienced with steroid drugs.
Colal-Pred is being studied for use in ulcerative colitis.
Indications
Investigated for use/treatment in inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis.
Pharmacodynamics
Prednisolone acetate is a glucocorticoid that, on the basis of weight, has to 5 times the anti-inflammatory potency of hydrocortisone.
Glucocorticoids inhibit the edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, and phagocytic migration of the acute inflammatory response, as well as capillary proliferation, deposition of collagen, and scar formation.
Mechanism of Action
ATL-2502 is the combination of Alizyme's proprietary colonic drug delivery system, colal, and prednisolone metasulfobenzoate sodium ("PMSBS"), an approved steroid in Europe. colal-PRED has a starch coating that is only broken down in the gut by bacteria occurring in the colon.
This leads to topical delivery of
PMSBS to the colon rather than systemic delivery with the objective of providing efficacy, but without the side effects of steroids; however, the efficacy and safety of colal-PRED must be shown in well-controlled, prospective clinical trials and approved by the FDA.
Target Actions Organism U Estrogen-related receptor gamma modulator Humans U Steroid hormone receptor ERR1 modulator Humans U Steroid hormone receptor ERR2 modulator Humans.

Toxicity
Overdosage will not ordinarily cause acute problems.
If accidentally ingested, drink fluids to dilute.
Warnings
Prolonged use of corticosteroids may result in posterior subcapsular cataract formation and may increase intraocular pressure in susceptible individuals, resulting in glaucoma with damage to the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity and fields of vision.
Prolonged use may also suppress the host immune response and thus increase the hazard of secondary ocular infections.
If this product is used for 10 days or longer, intraocular pressure should be routinely monitored even though it may be difficult in children and uncooperative patients.
Steroids should be used with caution in the presence of glaucoma.
Intraocular pressure should be checked frequently.
Various ocular diseases and long-term use of topical corticosteroids have been known to cause corneal and scleral thinning.
Use of topical corticosteroids in the presence of thin corneal or scleral tissue may lead to perforation.
Acute purulent infections of the eye may be masked or activity enhanced by the presence of corticosteroid medication.
The use of steroids after cataract surgery may delay healing and increase the incidence of bleb formation.
Use of ocular steroids may prolong the course and may exacerbate the severity of many viral infections of the eye (including herpes simplex).
Employment of a corticosteroid medication in the treatment of patients with a history of herpes simplex requires great caution; frequent slit lamp microscopy is recommended.
FORTE ® suspension contains sodium bisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions, including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people.
The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low.
Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in non-asthmatic people.
Contraindications
® suspension is contraindicated in acute untreated purulent ocular infections, in most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva including epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, and varicella, and also in mycobacterial infection of the eye and fungal diseases of ocular structures.
FORTE ® suspension is also contraindicated in individuals with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this preparation and to other corticosteroids.
Dosage & Administration
Shake well before using.
Instill one to two drops into the conjunctival sac two to four times daily.
During the initial to 48 hours, the dosing frequency may be increased if necessary.
Care should be taken not to discontinue therapy prematurely.
If signs and symptoms fail to improve after 2 days, the patient should be re-evaluated.

Pregnancy
Prednisolone has been shown to be teratogenic in mice when given in doses 1-10 times the human dose.
Dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, and prednisolone were ocularly applied to both eyes of pregnant mice five times per day on days 10 through of gestation.
A significant increase in the incidence of cleft palate was observed in the fetuses of the treated mice.
There are no adequate well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
Prednisolone should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
It is not known whether topical ophthalmic administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk.
Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects.
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from prednisolone, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
The safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have been established.
Use in pediatric patients is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension in adults with additional data in pediatric patients.
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger patients.
