Lynestrenol phenylpropionate
Lynestrenol phenylpropionate is a synthetic, steroidal progestin that was developed and used for medical purposes but is no longer marketed. It is an ester of lynestrenol, a progestogen which has been used in oral contraceptives.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
Lynestrenol phenylpropionate, also known as 17α-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone 3-cyclopentyl enol ether phenylpropionate, is a synthetic estrane steroid and a derivative of testosterone. It is more specifically a derivative of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) and is a member of the estrane group, as well as an analogue of lynestrenol, where a phenylpropionate ester has been added at the C3 position.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
As a progestin, lynestrenol phenylpropionate is a synthetic analogue of progesterone, a natural hormone which regulates the menstrual cycle and plays important roles in pregnancy. Lynestrenol phenylpropionate acts by binding to and activating the progesterone receptor, thereby exerting its progestational activity.
History[edit | edit source]
Lynestrenol phenylpropionate was developed and introduced for medical use in the 1960s. However, it is no longer marketed and hence is no longer available for use.
