Progesterone 3-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime (CAS 50909-89-2)

Progesterone 3-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime is a chemically modified derivative of progesterone, a key hormone involved in the regulation of various physiological processes. This particular derivative is synthesized through the introduction of a carboxymethyl oxime group at the third carbon position of the progesterone molecule. This modification significantly alters its interaction with progesterone receptors and other related biomolecules, making it an important tool in biochemical and pharmacological research. By changing the way this compound interacts with its target receptors, scientists can study the intricacies of hormone action, receptor specificity, and signal transduction pathways in a controlled setting. This compound serves as a molecular tool in elucidating the underlying mechanisms of steroid hormone function, aiding in the development of novel compounds with specific biological activities. Its role in research extends to the exploration of its binding properties, receptor dynamics, and the consequent cellular responses, providing invaluable insights into the complex web of hormonal regulation.
