Figure 1From: In vitro metabolism of beclomethasone dipropionate, budesonide, ciclesonide, and fluticasone propionate in human lung precision-cut tissue slicesMean amounts of parent compounds and metabolites in lung tissue slices over time. Initial substrate concentration: 25 μM. 1Sum of analytes = Pool for active drug detectable in human lung slices after 2, 6, and 24 h of incubation. BDP = beclomethasone dipropionate, BUD = budesonide, CIC = ciclesonide, FP = fluticasone propionate.Back to article page
