Epostane (WIN-32729) a pure competitive inhibitor of 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Epostane blocks progesterone synthesis during the luteal phase and in pregnancy in women and has strong anti-steroidogenic effect in endocrine tissues. Epostane is an abortifacient agent in early human pregnancy. It inhibits ovarian follicular steroidogenesis and ovulation.
