Dexamethasone Lipodisq Sterile Solution

Dexamethasone Lipodisq Sterile Solution is a ready-to-use nano-formulated aqueous solution. Dexamethasone, developed in 1957 and granted FDA approval in 1958, is a corticosteroid structurally similar to hydrocortisone and prednisolone. Dexamethasone is used to treat conditions including: endocrine, rheumatic, collagen, dermatologic, allergic, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, hematologic, neoplastic, and edematous and most recently COVID-19. Dexamethasone Lipodisq is based on a nanoparticle (11-40nm) drug delivery system comprising a discoidal phospholipid bilayer membrane stabilized by a chaperone molecule annulus. Internal properties of the phospholipid membrane support the disposition and stabilization of drug molecule candidates and preserve the native conformation of membrane molecules. The resulting encapsulated actives are rendered water-soluble and specialized for intra-cellular penetration/delivery via endosomal uptake mechanisms. Lipodisq solutions show a good safety profile and are suitable for in vitro and in vivo investigations.
