Dexamethasone-17-acetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesOff-White Solid
OriginatorDexacen,Central,US,1977
UsesDexamethasone has many uses in the treatment of cancer. Dexamethasone relieves inflammation in various parts of the body. To treat or prevent allergic reactions. As treatment of certain kinds of autoimmune diseases, skin conditions, asthma and other lung conditions. As treatment for a variety of cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. It is also used for replacement therapy in adrenal insufficiency and in a screening test for the diagnosis of cushing's syndrome. Dexamethasone Acetate has also been determined to markedly decrease the number of activated macrophages. In addition, Dexamethasone Acetate has been observed to significantly decrease mRNA levels of TPH2 (tryptophan hydroxylase-2) in the raphe nuclei of C57/Bl6 mice.
UsesDexamethasone acetate is used as a pharmaceutical primary standard to quantify the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations using chromatography ttechniques.
UsesProtected Dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory agent.
DefinitionChEBI: Dexamethasone acetate is a corticosteroid hormone.
Manufacturing ProcessThe preparation of dexamethasone acetate is described in US Patent3,007,923 as follows. 1.5 cc of dimethylformamide and 1.5 cc of anhydroushydrofluoric acid are admixed and treated with 480 mg of 9β,11β-epoxy-17αhydroxy-21-acetoxy-16α-methyl-?1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione (preparedaccording to E.P. Oliveto et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 80, 44331, 1958). Thesteroid dissolves in about 15 minutes. The reaction mixture is shaken for twohours at a temperature between 0 and +5°C, and then poured into 75 cc of
water containing in suspension, 7.5 grams of sodium bicarbonate. The mixtureis vacuum filtered, the filter cake washed and then dried at 100°C, yielding460 mg of crude hexadecadrol contaminated with a small amount of thestarting material. A single recrystallization from methylene chloride yields 370mg of the pure product having a melting point of 170°C and 229°C. Themother liquor yields 62 mg of the starting material, and a remainderconstituting a mixture of starting and final materials with little othercontamination.
Brand nameDecadron (Merck).
Therapeutic Function9-Fluoro-11β,17-dihydroxy-21-acetoxy-16α-methylpregna1,4-diene-3,20-dione
Safety ProfileExperimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. A steroid. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of F-.
Purification MethodsDexamethasone 21-acetate is purified on neutral Al2O3 using CHCl3 as eluent, the fractions are evaporated, and the residue is recrystallised from CHCl3. It has max at 239nm. [Oliveto et al. J Am Chem Soc 8 0 4431 1958]. [Beilstein 8 IV 3501.]
