MemberDefinitionClass
17-alpha-hydroxyprogesteroneA 17alpha-hydroxy steroid that is the 17alpha-hydroxy derivative of progesterone.17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone
algestoneA C21-steroid that is pregn-4-ene substituted by oxo groups at position 3 and 20 and hydroxy groups at positions 16 and 17.algestone
cyproterone acetateA steroid ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of acetic acid with the 17-hydroxy group of cyproterone. It is an antiandrogenic drug which has recently been recognized to promote the occurrence and growth of intracranial meningiomas.cyproterone acetate
desogestreldesogestrel
dienogestA steroid hormone that is 17beta-hydroxy-3-oxoestra-4,9-diene substituted at position 17 by a cyanomethyl group. Used as an oral contraceptive.dienogest
drospirenonedrospirenone
dydrogesteronedydrogesterone
ethisteroneA 17beta-hydroxy steroid that is testosterone in which the 17beta hydrogen is replaced by an ethynyl group. Ethisterone was the first orally active progestin and is a metabolite of danazol.ethisterone
ethynodiolethynodiol
etonogestreletonogestrel
levonorgestrellevonorgestrel
medroxyprogesteroneA 3-oxo Delta(4)-steroid that is pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione substituted by an alpha-hydroxy group at position 17 and a methyl group at position 6.medroxyprogesterone
medroxyprogesterone acetateAn acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the 17alpha-hydroxy group of medroxyprogesterone with the carboxy group of acetic acid. A widely used progestin in menopausal hormone therapy and in progestogen-only birth control.medroxyprogesterone acetate
megestrolA 3-oxo Delta(4)-steroid that is pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione substituted by a methyl group at position 6 and a hydroxy group at position 17.megestrol
megestrol acetateA steroid ester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of megestrol with the carboxy group of acetic acid. It is an appetite stimulant used for the treatment of anorexia and cachexia. Also used for birth control and for the treatment of breast cancer.megestrol acetate
norethindroneA 17beta-hydroxy steroid that is testosterone in which the hydrogen at position 17 is replaced by an ethynyl group and in which the methyl group attached to position 10 is replaced by hydrogen.norethisterone
norethindrone acetateA 3-oxo Delta(4)-steroid that is norethisterone in which the hydroxy group has been converted to its acetate ester.norethisterone acetate
norgestimatenorgestimate
promegestoneA progestin consisting of 17beta-propionylestra-4,9-dien-3-one substituted at position 17 by a methyl group.promegestone
ulipristal acetateA 20-oxo steroid obtained by acetylation of the 17-hydroxy group of (11beta,17alpha)-17-acetyl-11-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-3-oxoestra-4,9-dien-17-ol (ulipristal). A selective progesterone receptor modulator, which is employed as an emergency contraceptive.ulipristal acetate
