Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
WAY-214156 is a selective, nonsteroidal agonist at the progesterone receptor. This means it binds to and activates the progesterone receptor, mimicking the effects of the natural hormone progesterone.
Potential Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Research has suggested that WAY-214156 may have potential use in the treatment of breast cancer and endometriosis.
Breast Cancer[edit | edit source]
In breast cancer, WAY-214156 may work by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. Progesterone receptors are often present in breast cancer cells, and activation of these receptors can slow the growth of the cancer.
Endometriosis[edit | edit source]
In endometriosis, WAY-214156 may work by reducing the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Progesterone is normally involved in regulating the growth of endometrial tissue, and activation of the progesterone receptor can help to control this growth.
Development Status[edit | edit source]
WAY-214156 has been researched for potential medical use, but as of now, it has not been approved for use in humans. Further research is needed to determine its safety and effectiveness.
