Melengestrol acetate

Catalog No.: A85390
Contraceptive Agent
Melengestrol acetate is a synthetic progestin that primarily targets progesterone receptors. It exerts contraceptive effects by promoting endometrial proliferation and maintaining pregnancy, while also delaying menstrual activity. In addition to its use as a contraceptive agent in livestock to suppress estrus and promote growth, melengestrol acetate has demonstrated efficacy in inhibiting both androgen-dependent and independent prostatic tumors in vivo, making it a valuable compound for cancer research applications.
