Ciclesonide is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (Omnaris nasal spray) and asthma (Alvesco). It was also developed by Byk Gulden for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but no development had been reported for this indication since 1999. Ciclesonide is a pro-drug and rapidly metabolized to C21-desisobutyryl-ciclesonide which is more potent toward GR receptor than the parent drug. — NCATS
