Bioactivity | Dexamethasone phosphate (Dexamethasone 21-phosphate) is a biologically inactive compound which undergoes dephosphorylation by intra-erythrocyte enzymes. The active metabolite, dexamethasone, is then released into the circulation by simple passive diffusion through cell membranes. Dexamethasone phosphate-encapsulated erythrocyte has the potential for steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis research[1]. |
