Description
Dexamethasone is a potent synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, acting as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. It is widely used in research to model conditions like depression and muscle atrophy in vivo, and to study cytokine modulation and autophagy in cellular experiments. Its mechanisms include inhibiting inflammatory exosome release and suppressing LPS-induced macrophage activation.

Chemical Information

Dexamethasone

Dexamethasone is a fluorinated steroid that is 9-fluoropregna-1,4-diene substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 11, 17 and 21, a methyl group at position 16 and oxo groups at positions 3 and 20. It is a synthetic member of the class of glucocorticoids. It has a role as an anti-inflammatory drug, an antineoplastic agent, a xenobiotic, an immunosuppressive agent, an adrenergic agent, an antiemetic and an environmental contaminant. It is a glucocorticoid, a 17alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 21-hydroxy steroid, an 11beta-hydroxy steroid, a 20-oxo steroid, a fluorinated steroid and a 3-oxo-Delta(1),Delta(4)-steroid. It derives from a hydride of a pregnane.
