Dexamethasone acetate (Standard) is the standard substance of Dexamethasone acetate, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Dexamethasone acetate (NSC 39471) is the acetate salt form of Dexamethasone, a synthetic adrenal corticosteroid 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.
