Betamethasone acetate-d5
Betamethasone acetate-d5 is deuterium labeled Betamethasone acetate (HY-13570B). Betamethasone acetate is a glucocorticoid with prenatal application for preventing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Betamethasone acetate exhibits dose-dependent effects on somatic and brain development in offspring when administered prenatally to pregnant rats. Betamethasone acetate can be used for the study of antenatal intervention.

Biological Activity
Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Betamethasone (170-340 μg/ kg, i.n., twice within 4 h on E20) (acetate) induces moderate dose-dependent somatic growth retardation (reduced birth weight, crown-tail length, head diameter) in offspring of pregnant Fisher 344 rats[2].
