Notes: Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds the human glucocorticoid receptor with a higher affinity than a natural ligand, cortisol (Kd = 5 nM versus 17 nM, respectively).{20150} Through receptor activation, dexamethasone has both transactivating and transrepressing effects on gene expression, producing, in general, anti-inflammatory results.{20149}
