About NeomycinAn aminoglycoside, Antibiotic, Ammonium Detoxicant.Mechanism of Action of NeomycinThis aminoglycoside cause protein synthesis inhibition by "irreversibly" bind to specific 30S-subunit proteins and 16S rRNA. Specifically Neomycin binds to four nucleotides of 16S rRNA and a single amino acid of protein S12. This interferes with decoding site in the vicinity of nucleotide 1400 in 16S rRNA of 30S subunit. This region interacts with the wobble base in the anticodon of tRNA. This leads to interference with the initiation complex, misreading of mRNA so incorrect amino acids are inserted into the polypeptide leading to nonfunctional or toxic peptides and the breakup of polysomes into nonfunctional monosomes.Pharmacokinets of NeomycinAbsorption- Poorly absorbed after oral administration

About Clobetasol propionateTopical adenocorticoid, Anti inflammatory.Mechanism of Action of Clobetasol propionateClobetasol is a topical corticosteroid. It induces peptide Lipocortins which inhibit the enzyme Phospholipase A2. Phospholipase A2 is essential for the conversion of membrane phospholipids to Arachidonic acid. From this Arachidonic acid inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins, kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes and the complement system are produced. By inhibiting Phospholipase A2 inflammatory mediators are not released. It also inhibits the migration of macrophages and leukocytes to the inflamed area by its vasoconstrictive properties. Corticosteroids also inhibit capillary production, collagen deposition and keloid (scar) formation. Thus inhibiting inflammatory mediators and other actions Clobetasol are used for anti-inflammatory conditions.Pharmacokinets of Clobetasol propionateAbsorption: Clobetasol is absorbed through intact skin after topical administration and the amount absorbed is depending on the type of inflammation, vehicle used, amount of drug applied and the epidermal barrier (nature of skin)Onset of Action for Clobetasol propionateN/ADuration of Action for Clobetasol propionateN/AHalf Life of Clobetasol propionateN/ASide Effects of Clobetasol propionate1.Thinning of epidermis
