Biological Activity

Description Betamethasone (NSC-39470, SCH-4831) is a glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
Targets
Glucocorticoid receptor [1]
In vitro
In vitro Betamethasone has a specific affinity for type II glucocorticoid receptors which are present in most brain regions. [1]
In Vivo
In vivo Betamethasone has direct vasoconstrictor effects on peripheral femoral resistance vessels in late gestation fetal sheep. Betamethasone exposure decreases cerebral blood flow (CBF) in all brain regions measured except the hippocampus after 24 hours of infusion in sheep. [1] Betamethasone reduces the activation of NF-kappaB and elevation of TNFalpha and IL-1beta, and induces the expression of IL-10 in the brain, all of which correlate with the changes of pain thresholds in rats. [2] Betamethasone exposure reduces synaptophysin-LI in the frontal neocortex, caudate putamen and hippocampus by 46.9%, 41.0% and 55.4%, respectively, that is not accompanied by irreversible neuronal damage in the fetal sheep brain. [3] Betamethasone modestly increases cytidylyltransferase (CT) mRNA, but does not alter the levels of immunoreactive enzyme in adult rat lung. Betamethasone decreases the activities of the sphingomyelin hydrolases: acid sphingomyelinase by 33% and of alkaline ceramidase by 21%. [4] Betamethasone injected at the time of nerve injury partially inhibits the development of neuropathic hyperalgesia and reduces the subsequent elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the brain of rats, while stimulating the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
