Dexamethasone metasulfobenzoate sodium

Dexamethasone sodium metasulfobenzoate is the sodium sulfobenzoate salt form of dexamethasone, a synthetic adrenal corticosteroid and derivative of hydrocortisone, with potent anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to binding to specific nuclear steroid receptors, dexamethasone also interferes with NF-kB activation and apoptotic pathways. This agent lacks the salt-retaining properties of other related adrenal hormones. Its therapeutic use is listed as anti-inflammatories and antirheumatic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Sisotek and Dexamethasone sodium m-sulfobenzoate. Its PubChem CID is 23672582.
