Usage

General Description

Dexamethasone 21-(3-phenylpropionate) is a derivative of dexamethasone, which is a synthetic glucocorticoid with strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. dexamethasone 21-(3-phenylpropionate) features the dexamethasone molecule esterified at the 21st carbon position with a 3-phenylpropionate moiety. The added ester enhances the lipophilicity and half-life of dexamethasone, potentially improving its therapeutic efficiency. This type of dexamethasone is usually used in medicine to treat various conditions including rheumatic problems, skin diseases, severe allergies, asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, and other inflammatory disorders. It works by decreasing inflammation and reducing the activity of the immune system.
