Dexamethasone chemical structure

Fig. 5 Chemical structure of the hapten conjugated to BSA used as immunogen by Roberts et al. [158] and Meyer et al. [154] to raise antibodies against dexamethasone. Structures of other corticosteroids subsequently tested by Creaser et al. [180] in order to evaluate the selectivity of the ELISA obtained are also shown...

Chemical structures of several glucocorticoids. The acetonide-substituted derivatives (eg, triamcinolone acetonide) have increased surface activity and are useful in dermatology. Dexamethasone is identical to betamethasone except for the configuration of the methyl group at C16 in betamethasone it is beta (projecting up from the plane of the rings) in dexamethasone it is alpha. 

Class corticosteroid, adrenal glucocorticoid, synthetic glucocorticoid Chemical Structure dexamethasone, see Figure 97.1 prednisone, see Figure 97.2... 

Steroid structure and biosynthesis have been used from a pharmacologic standpoint. Pharmacologists have tried to develop more effective and less toxic synthetic steroids by manipulating the chemical side groups of these compounds. An example is the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone, which is 25 times... 

Chemical properties of the reactive mioetles of dexamethasone - A consideration of the stability information reported for dexamethasone is best viewed in connection with the molecular changes reported for dexamethasone as well as structurally related adrenocorticosteroids.
