11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is a steroid hormone and a derivative of progesterone, a natural hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species. The compound is characterized by the addition of a hydroxyl group at the 11-alpha position on the progesterone molecule. This structural modification alters the hormone′s biological activity and solubility. The presence of the hydroxyl group at the 11-alpha position impacts the hormone′s interaction with its receptors and its metabolic pathways, potentially changing its physiological effects. 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is of interest in endocrine research where it may be studied for its roles in various biological processes including its influence on cortisol synthesis pathways and its potential effects on anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating activities.
