Dexamethasone

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryDexamethasone, a small molecule drug molecule with a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist action, has got all the science enthusiasts' tongues wagging. The GR, which is widely distributed across various cell types, is responsible for myriad physiological responses, including immune and inflammatory responses. This small molecule drug, Dexamethasone, binds to the GR, which sends shockwaves of change through gene expression and protein synthesis, consequently giving inflammation and immune system activity a taste of their own medicine.When it comes to treating various conditions, Dexamethasone takes the crown. This potent drug has proved its mettle in treating an impressive range of conditions, including but not limited to actinic cheilitis, light chain (AL) amyloidosis, ocular inflammation, macular edema, and anaphylaxis. Back in the day, on October 30, 1958, the FDA gave the nod to Dexamethasone. It was a time when Merck & Co., Inc., a pharmaceutical company that hailed from the United States, hit the bull's eye with this innovative drug that promised a bright future.
