초록

Corticosteroids have been used most frequently for inflammatory bowel disease.They are well absorbed and only a limited fraction of the dose is delivered to the inflammatory site in the colon. To reduce side effects by the systemic absorption. cOlon-specific delivery is highly desirable. We prepared prednisolone 21-sulfate sodium (PDS) and investigated its suitability as a colon-specific prodrug of prednisolone(PD). (omitted)
