Beclomethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. After cell surface receptor attachment and cell entry, beclomethasone enters the nucleus where it binds to and activates specific nuclear receptors, resulting in an altered gene expression and inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Corticosteroids. Its therapeutic use is listed as anti-inflammatories. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Viarin, Junik, Ascocortonyl and Becodisk. Its PubChem CID is 20469.
