Notes: Desoximetasone-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of desoximetasone (Item No. 23945) by GC- or LC-MS. Desoximetasone is a glucocorticoid.{39559} In vivo, desoximetasone (0.001-0.1 mg) reverses increases in epidermal cell proliferation induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; Item No. 10008014) in SENCAR mice when administered topically. It also reduces TPA-induced expression of IL-6, COX-2, iNOS, and c-Jun mRNA levels in the skin of SENCAR mice, indicating anti-inflammatory action. Formulations containing desoximetasone have been used in the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
