Description

Beclomethasone 21-propionate is a synthetic, inhaled glucocorticoid that is used to treat bronchial asthma and other respiratory disorders. It is the active metabolite of beclomethasone dipropionate. The mechanism of action of beclomethasone 21-propionate is not fully understood. It has been shown to inhibit microbial biotransformation in vitro by epoxidation, but this may not be its primary mechanism of action. Beclomethasone 21-propionate has been shown to inhibit hydrogen chloride-dependent microbial transformation in vitro by both epoxide and chloride mechanisms. This drug also has been shown to inhibit microbial transformation in vitro by dipropionate and chloride mechanisms. Beclomethasone 21-propionate does not have a significant effect on drug metabolism or drug clearance from the body.
