Difluprednate is a corticosteroid, a derivative of prednisolone obtained by fluorination at the 6- and 9-positions, followed by esterification of the 17 and 21-hydroxyl groups with butyric acid and acetic acid, respectively (see figure). Accordingly, difluprednate is sometimes abbreviated DFBA, for difluoroprednisolone butyrate acetate.
