Estrogen-progestins and progestins for the management of endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility, 2016Endometriosis is characterized by frequent recurrences of symptoms and lesions even after extirpative surgery. Because medical therapies control but do not cure the disease, long periods of pharmacologic management may be needed until pregnancy desire or, sometimes, physiologic menopause.

The history of progesterone and hormone replacement therapy goes back to 1934 when Butenandt obtained crystalline progesterone and Kaufmann started to treat ovariectomized women with both estrogens and progesterone (Table 1). Today synthetic perorally active 19-nortestosterone and 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone derivatives are used in addition to ...

Progesterone and its analogs may exert opposite effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, leading to higher cell motility and metastasis. Their ultimate effect is determined by a number of factors: the structure and concentration of the steroid, its affinity for various forms of steroid hormone receptors ...

Progesterone-Progestin Receptors
1974A correlation between binding to the progestin-specific uterine cytosol receptor and with well-defined facets of progesterone action was established. Structurally similar derivatives of norprogesterone and nortestosterone were compared. Binding was measured in vitro by determining their competitive effect on the progestin-tagged uterine cytosol ...

Drospirenone: a novel progestin
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2007Drospirenone is a novel progestin available in combined oral contraceptives and menopausal hormonal therapy. Similar to its parent compound spirolactone, an analog of spironolactone, drospirenone has antimineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic activity.

Progesterone exerts most of its actions through its specific receptors. However, synthetic progestins and progesterone itself may bind with other steroid receptors, thus producing a variety of effects. For instance, some nonsteroid derivatives produce virilizing effects by acting on testosterone receptors.
