Product name:Beclomethasone dipropionate
CAS:5534-09-8
MF:C28H37ClO7
MW:521.04
Description: Beclomethasone dipropionate is used primarily as an inhalation aerosol therapy for asthma and rhinitis. A breakthrough in the discovery of new inhalation corticosteroids with reduced risks from systemic absorption was that the 17-monopropionate ester of beclomethasone (17-BMP) was more active than BDP and 21-monopropionate (21-BMP) esters. Thus, BDP is a pro-drug that is rapidly metabolized by esterases in the lung and other tissues to its more active metabolite, 17-BMP, which has 30 times greater affinity for the GR than BDP and approximately 14 times dexamethasone.
