Analysis of Interaction between Dexamethasone and serum albumin by UV-Vis Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-MB-0933-WXH)

Introduction

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It is used to treat many different inflammatory conditions such as allergic disorders and skin conditions. Dexamethasone is also used to treat ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and breathing disorders.
Serum albumins (SAs), the most abundant proteins in blood plasma, play important roles in the transport and deposition of a variety of endogenous and exogenous substances including fatty acids, amino acids, metals, and pharmaceuticals in blood. The binding of toxins to serum albumins may have physiological importance, because they controls their free, active concentrations and affect the duration and intensity of their effects.
