Algestone (INN ), also known as alphasone or alfasone, as well as dihydroxyprogesterone, is a progestin which was never marketed.[1] Another progestin, algestone acetophenide, in contrast, has been marketed as a hormonal contraceptive.[1]
Chemistry
[edit]Algestone, also known as 16α,17α-dihydroxyprogesterone or as 16α,17α-dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, is a synthetic pregnane steroid and a derivative of progesterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone.[1] Closely related analogues of algestone include 16α-hydroxyprogesterone, algestone acetonide, and algestone acetophenide.[2]
