Beclomethasone 17-propionate

Description: Beclomethasone 17-propionate is an active metabolite of Beclomethasone dipropionate and an agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). It exhibits greater affinity for GR than Beclomethasone dipropionate. Beclomethasone 17-propionate effectively suppresses cytokine production in COPD lung macrophages. Target: Others. Smiles: O(C(CC)=O)[C@@]1(C(CO)=O)[C@]2(C)[C@@](C[C@@H]1C)([C@]3([C@](Cl)([C@@H](O)C2)[C@]4(C)C(CC3)=CC(=O)C=C4)[H])[H]. References: Würthwein G, et al.
