Progesterone carboxymethyloxime
Progesterone carboxymethyloxime (PCMO) is a synthetic progestogen that is related to progesterone. It is a derivative of progesterone and is specifically a progestin that was never marketed.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
Progesterone carboxymethyloxime is a synthetic progestogen, or an artificially created compound that mimics the effects of natural progesterone in the body. It is a derivative of progesterone, meaning it is structurally similar to progesterone but has been chemically modified. Specifically, it is a progestin, a type of progestogen that has been synthesized from progesterone.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
As a progestin, progesterone carboxymethyloxime has the ability to bind to and activate the progesterone receptor, a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by the hormone progesterone. This allows it to mimic the effects of progesterone in the body, which can include maintaining the lining of the uterus, preventing ovulation, and preparing the body for pregnancy.
History[edit | edit source]
Progesterone carboxymethyloxime was never marketed, meaning it was not made available for sale or use by the public. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as lack of efficacy, undesirable side effects, or difficulties in production or marketing.
