research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors
Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.
research New Aromatic Esters of Progesterone as Antiandrogens
New progesterone-based compounds can block male hormones.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
research Allopregnanolone-mediated protective effects of progesterone on tributyltin-induced neuronal injury in rat hippocampal slices
Progesterone protects neurons from damage by converting to allopregnanolone, which works through GABAA receptors.
research Estrogens
research Anesthetic effects of progesterone are undiminished in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone's anesthetic effects don't rely on progesterone receptors.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Progesterone and its Metabolites: Anticonvulsant and Behavioral Studies
Progesterone and its metabolites can prevent seizures without major side effects.
research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.
research Mechanism of progesterone neuroprotection of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells following oxygen–glucose deprivation
Progesterone protects rat brain cells by enhancing GABA A receptor activity.
research Mechanisms responsible for progesterone's protection against lordosis-inhibiting effects of restraint II. Role of progesterone metabolites
Allopregnanolone, a progesterone metabolite, helps reduce restraint effects on behavior.
research Sex Hormones: Hormonal Contraception and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormonal contraceptives and therapies regulate organ functions and treat various conditions.
research Synthesis of 11α-hydroxyprogesterone hartens
Researchers successfully made new compounds for hormone level tests, but one attempt led to an unexpected product, correcting a past error.
research 5. Novel anticonvulsant effects of supraphysiological doses of progesterone in hippocampal-kindled mice
High doses of progesterone can reduce seizures in mice.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Phase-specific differential regulation of mechanical allodynia in a murine model of neuropathic pain by progesterone
Progesterone initially worsens but later reduces neuropathic pain in mice, through different mechanisms.
research The anticonvulsant effects of progesterone and its metabolites
5alpha-DHP may be a safe, effective treatment for certain seizures without causing sedation.
research A new method for synthesis of finasteride
A new, safer method to make finasteride from progesterone is effective for industrial use.
research Pharmacology of different progestogens: the special case of drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
research [Differentiated application of oral contraceptives basing on the different side effects of synthetic progestins (author's transl)].
Choose oral contraceptives with specific side effects to manage issues like acne and avoid unwanted effects.
research In vitro metabolism of progesterone by canine hair follicle cells
Canine hair follicle cells convert progesterone into various metabolites, mainly cortisol.
research Inhibition of progesterone metabolism mimics the effect of progesterone withdrawal on forced swim test immobility
Blocking progesterone metabolism can cause depression-like behavior in mice.
research Effects of two estroprogestins containing ethynilestradiol 30mug and drospirenone 3 mg and ethynilestradiol 30mug and chlormadinone 2 mg on skin and hormonal hyperandrogenic manifestations
Both birth control pills improved hormone levels and skin conditions in women with hyperandrogenism, but the one with drospirenone was more effective.
research Anxiolytic activity of progesterone in progesterone receptor knockout mice
