CAS 105012-15-5: HYDROXY MIFEPRISTONE
Description:Hydroxy mifepristone, with the CAS number 105012-15-5, is a synthetic steroid compound that serves as a derivative of mifepristone, a well-known antiprogestin. This substance exhibits properties that allow it to bind to progesterone receptors, thereby inhibiting the effects of progesterone, which is crucial for maintaining pregnancy. Hydroxy mifepristone is characterized by its ability to modulate hormonal activity, making it relevant in reproductive health and therapeutic applications, particularly in medical abortion protocols. The compound is typically administered in a controlled setting due to its potent biological effects. Its chemical structure includes a modified steroid backbone, which contributes to its pharmacological activity. Hydroxy mifepristone is also studied for its potential use in treating conditions such as endometriosis and certain types of cancer, where progesterone plays a significant role in disease progression. As with many pharmacologically active compounds, safety, efficacy, and regulatory considerations are paramount in its use.
