Altrenogest (CAS 850-52-2)
QUICK LINKS
Altrenogest is a synthetic progestin that functions as a progestational agent. It acts by binding to progesterone receptors in the reproductive tract, exerting its effects on the endometrium and myometrium. Altrenogest′s mechanism of action involves altering the hormonal environment, leading to changes in the uterine lining and inhibiting follicular development. Altrenogest also suppresses the secretion of gonadotropins, thereby preventing ovulation. At the molecular level, it modulates gene expression and protein synthesis, influencing the menstrual cycle and reproductive processes. Altrenogest′s function in experimental applications involves studying its impact on the female reproductive system and its potential applications in manipulating estrous cycles in animals.
