Description

Promegestone is a steroid compound that has been extensively studied for its various properties and applications. It has shown to have antioxidant effects, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Promegestone also interacts with positron-emission tomography (PET) ligands, making it useful in medical imaging studies.

As a natural product, promegestone has been found to have interactions with oxysterols, which are important in regulating cholesterol metabolism. It forms hydrogen bonds with these compounds, potentially influencing their activity and function.

In addition to its biological properties, promegestone is also used as a preservative in various products due to its carbonyl group and benzoate moiety. Its antimicrobial properties make it effective in preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Promegestone has also shown potential as an androgen receptor antagonist, which may be beneficial in the treatment of conditions related to excessive androgen activity such as hirsutism or certain types of cancer.
