The molecule is a trifluorinated corticosteroid that consists of 6alpha,9-difluoro-11beta,17alpha-dihydroxy-17beta-{[(fluoromethyl)sulfanyl]carbonyl}-16-methyl-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene bearing a propionyl substituent at position 17; has anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic and anti-allergic activity. It has a role as an anti-allergic agent, an anti-asthmatic drug, an anti-inflammatory drug, a dermatologic drug, a bronchodilator agent and an adrenergic agent. It is a corticosteroid, a steroid ester, an 11beta-hydroxy steroid, a propanoate ester, a fluorinated steroid, a thioester and a 3-oxo-Delta(1),Delta(4)-steroid. It derives from a fluticasone. It derives from a hydride of an androstane.
