Beclometasone dipropionate-d10

Beclometasone dipropionate-d10 is the deuterium labeled Beclometasone dipropionate. Betamethasone dipropionate, the proagent of Betamethasone, is an orally active and potent glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. Betamethasone appears to be an effective inhibitor of LPS-induced inflammation and MMP release[1][2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
