Medroxyprogesterone acetate (INN, USAN, BAN), also known as 17α-hydroxy-6α-methylprogesterone acetate, and commonly abbreviated as MPA, is a steroidal progestin, a synthetic variant of the human hormone progesterone. Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) administered orally or parenterally in the recommended doses to women with adequate endogenous estrogen, transforms proliferative into secretory endometrium. Androgenic and anabolic effects have been noted, but the drug is apparently devoid of significant estrogenic activity. While parenterally administered MPA inhibits gonadotropin production, which in turn prevents follicular maturation and ovulation, available data indicate that this does not occur when the usually recommended oral dosage is given as single daily doses. MPA is a more potent derivative of its parent compound medroxyprogesterone (MP). While medroxyprogesterone is sometimes used as a synonym for medroxyprogesterone acetate, what is normally being administered is MPA and not MP. Used as a contraceptive and to treat secondary amenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, pain associated with endometriosis, endometrial and renal cell carcinomas, paraphilia in males, GnRH-dependent forms of precocious puberty, as well as to prevent endometrial changes associated with estrogens. Progestins diffuse freely into target cells in the female reproductive tract, mammary gland, hypothalamus, and the pituitary and bind to the progesterone receptor. Once bound to the receptor, progestins slow the frequency of release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus and blunt the pre-ovulatory LH surge.

Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) also commonly known as 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is a phorbol ester that is commonly used to activate phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). PMA/ TPA possesses potential antineoplastic effects and was studied in phase II clinical trials together with dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. In addition, PMA/ TPA participated in phase I trial for treating patients with hematologic cancer or bone marrow disorder that has not responded to previous treatment. Nevertheless, both clinical trials were terminated. Besides, PMA/ TPA was studied in patients with solid tumors, which had depressed white blood cell and neutrophil counts because of prior treatment with cytotoxic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. It was shown, that the drug increased the low white blood cell and neutrophil counts toward the normal range.

Conditions:

β-Estradiol 17-acetate is a natural metabolite of estradiol. Hydrolytic enzymes in human cadaver, hairless dog, rat and hairless mouse skin can metabolize β-Estradiol 17-acetate to β-Estradiol. β-Estradiol 17-acetate transported across the human and hairless dog skin can be effectively metabolized before entering the capillary.
Retonol, also known as Vitamin A1, is a vitamin found in food and used as a dietary supplement. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin A deficiency. It is also used to prevent further issues in those who have measles. Retinol is used as a metabolic precursor of retinoic acid to treat skin-related conditions, such as cellulite, skin aging, photodamage.

Body protective compound – 15 also known as bepecin, BPC 157 or PL 14736, a small, chemically synthesized pentadecapeptide which has been shown to be safe in clinical trials for inflammatory bowel disease and may be able to cure intestinal anastomosis dehiscence. BPC 157 also was involved in phase I development in Ulcerative colitis, however, no reports of development identified. Recently published article has described that BPC 157 had huge potential as a therapy to conservatively treat or aid recovery in hypovascular and hypocellular soft tissues such as tendon and ligaments. Although is still a need to understand the precise healing mechanisms for this therapy to achieve clinical realization.
