CAS 432-60-0: Allylestrenol
Description:Allylestrenol, with the CAS number 432-60-0, is a synthetic progestin, which is a type of hormone that mimics the action of progesterone in the body. It is characterized by its steroidal structure, which includes a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core typical of steroid hormones. Allylestrenol is primarily used in medical applications, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology, to support pregnancy and manage certain menstrual disorders. Its mechanism of action involves the modulation of gene expression related to reproductive processes, promoting the maintenance of the uterine lining and preventing premature labor. The compound is typically administered orally or via injection, and it is known for its relatively low androgenic activity compared to other progestins, making it suitable for use in women. Allylestrenol is also recognized for its stability and solubility in organic solvents, which facilitates its formulation in various pharmaceutical preparations. As with any hormone therapy, its use should be monitored for potential side effects and contraindications.
