Description: Beclometasone dipropionate (INN modified) or beclomethasone dipropionate (USAN, former BAN), also referred to as beclometasone (INN), is a potent glucocorticoid steroid. In the form of an inhaler (e.g. Clenil, Qvar), a wide number of brands of which are available, it is used for the prophylaxis of asthma. As a nasal spray (e.g. Beconase, alanase, Vancenase), it is used for the treatment of rhinitis (e.g. hayfever) and sinusitis. In some instances it is used by oral pathologists in the treatment of unusually severe aphthous ulcers.

Product Data:
Biological target: Betamethasone dipropionate is a glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive abilities.
In vitro activity: The effects of dexamethasone (Dex) and beclomethasone (Beclo) on C. pneumoniae infection in vitro were evaluated. Glucocorticoids were tested alone or in combination with azithromycin (AZM), telithromycin (TEL), or levofloxacin (LVX), antibiotics commonly used against C. pneumoniae infections. In vitro at 1 and 5 μM, both glucocorticoids decreased the number of IFU (inclusion forming units) versus the control number (P < 0.001). Dex and Beclo reduced the number of IFU versus the control number by about 25% at 1 μM and by about 40 and 30%, respectively, at 5 μM. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2004 Dec;48(12):4878-81. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC529217/
In vivo activity: The in vivo antichlamydial activities of dexamethasone and beclomethasone alone and in combination with an antibiotic were tested. An in vivo dose of Dex and Beclo (120 μg/kg/day) led to an anti-inflammatory effect and an immunosuppressant effect in a murine Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection model.
