CAS 71-58-9: Medroxyprogesterone acetate
Description:Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is a synthetic progestin, a derivative of progesterone, commonly used in hormonal therapies. It is characterized by its ability to mimic the effects of natural progesterone, playing a crucial role in regulating various reproductive processes. MPA is typically administered in oral or injectable forms and is utilized in contraceptive formulations, hormone replacement therapy, and the management of certain menstrual disorders. The compound is known for its anti-estrogenic properties, which can be beneficial in treating conditions like endometriosis and certain types of cancer. Chemically, MPA has a molecular formula that reflects its steroidal structure, contributing to its biological activity. It is generally well-absorbed and metabolized in the liver, with a half-life that allows for effective dosing schedules. However, like all medications, it may have side effects, including changes in menstrual patterns, weight gain, and potential impacts on bone density with long-term use. Overall, MPA is a significant compound in reproductive health, demonstrating the importance of synthetic hormones in modern medicine.
