Acetate

An acetate is a salt formed by the combination of acetic acid with a base (e.g. alkaline, earthy, metallic, nonmetallic or radical base).

See Desoxycorticosterone acetate and Acetate

Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones.

See Desoxycorticosterone acetate and Corticosteroid

Ester

In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.

See Desoxycorticosterone acetate and Ester

Intramuscular injection

Intramuscular injection, often abbreviated IM, is the injection of a substance into a muscle.

List of corticosteroid esters

This is a list of corticosteroid esters, including esters of steroidal glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Desoxycorticosterone acetate and list of corticosteroid esters are corticosteroid esters and Prodrugs.

Mineralocorticoid

Mineralocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which in turn are a class of steroid hormones. Desoxycorticosterone acetate and Mineralocorticoid are mineralocorticoids.

See Desoxycorticosterone acetate and Mineralocorticoid

Oil

An oil is any nonpolar chemical substance that is composed primarily of hydrocarbons and is hydrophobic (does not mix with water) and lipophilic (mixes with other oils).

See Desoxycorticosterone acetate and Oil

11-Deoxycorticosterone

11-Deoxycorticosterone (DOC), or simply deoxycorticosterone, also known as 21-hydroxyprogesterone, as well as desoxycortone (INN), deoxycortone, and cortexone, is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland that possesses mineralocorticoid activity and acts as a precursor to aldosterone. Desoxycorticosterone acetate and 11-Deoxycorticosterone are mineralocorticoids, Pregnanes and Progestogens.
