Medroxyprogesterone

• Description:

  Medroxyprogesterone (17α-Hydroxy-6α-methylprogesterone) is a synthetic human variant of progesterone that is a progesterone receptor agonist with oral activity. Medroxyprogesterone can induce cell proliferation through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Medroxyprogesterone has an inhibitory effect on atherosclerosis in mice. The progesterone agonist activity of Medroxyprogesterone is less effective than Medroxyprogesterone acetate (HY-B0469) [1][2][3][4].
