CAS 378-44-9: Betamethasone
Description:Betamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, commonly used in the treatment of various conditions such as allergies, skin disorders, and autoimmune diseases. It is characterized by its potent glucocorticoid activity, which helps reduce inflammation and modulate the immune response. Betamethasone has a molecular formula that reflects its steroid structure, typically featuring a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core, with specific functional groups that enhance its biological activity. The substance is often administered in various forms, including topical creams, injections, and oral tablets, depending on the condition being treated. Its pharmacokinetics involve rapid absorption and metabolism, with a relatively long half-life compared to other corticosteroids, allowing for less frequent dosing. However, prolonged use can lead to side effects such as adrenal suppression, weight gain, and increased susceptibility to infections. As with any medication, it is essential to use betamethasone under medical supervision to manage potential risks and benefits effectively.
