Melengestrol

Description:

Melengestrol, with the CAS number 5633-18-1, is a synthetic progestin, which is a type of hormone that mimics the effects of progesterone in the body. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine, particularly in livestock, to regulate reproductive cycles and improve feed efficiency. Melengestrol is characterized by its ability to inhibit ovulation and maintain pregnancy, making it valuable in managing breeding in animals. The substance is typically administered in the form of feed additives or implants. Chemically, melengestrol is a steroid compound, which contributes to its hormonal activity. It is known for its relatively high potency and long duration of action compared to natural progesterone. Safety and regulatory considerations are important when using melengestrol, as it can have implications for animal health and food safety. Its use is subject to specific guidelines to minimize potential residues in food products derived from treated animals. Overall, melengestrol plays a significant role in modern animal husbandry practices.

Melengestrol acetate is a progestin hormone used in veterinary medicine as an anabolic agent. It has been shown to improve the survival of animals with bowel disease, and to stimulate the appetite of animals that are not eating well. Melengestrol acetate has also been found to suppress estrus activity in female animals. The toxicological studies related to melengestrol acetate have been conducted on rats and mice treated with melengestrol acetate, which were observed for up to one year. These studies showed that this drug does not induce any significant toxic effects at doses up to 1000 mg/kg body weight. The analytical method for melengestrol acetate is based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection (UV). Melengestrol acetate was found in human serum. This study indicates that there may be a potential risk of exposure from environmental sources such as wastewater treatment plants and autoimmune diseases. Trenbolone is another
