Description

Algestone is a progesterone like female hormone. Algestone is a C21-steroid that is pregn-4-ene substituted by oxo groups at position 3 and 20 and hydroxy groups at positions 16 and 17. It has a role as a progestin. It is a 20-oxo steroid, a 16alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 17-hydroxy steroid, a C21-steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It derives from a hydride of a pregnane. Algestone is used as anti-inflammatory drug (topical) and combination with enanthate as injectable contraceptive.
