Description of 17-Hydroxyprogesterone

17-Hydroxyprogesterone, an endogenous progestogen and chemical intermediate in the biosynthesis of other steroid hormones, is also the parent compound of various progestins derivatives.

In vitro: 17-Hydroxyprogesterone was found to be an agonist of the progesterone receptor (PR), which was similarly to progesterone. In addition, 17-hydroxyprogesterone was also an antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) as well as a partial agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), with very low potency (EC50>100-fold less relative to cortisol), which was also similarly to progesterone [1].

In vivo: Findings from a previous rat in vivo study demonstrated that even if modest, lowering blood pressure with 17-hydroxyprogesterone could be a viable treatment selection for blocking inflammation and uterine artery vasoconstriction, whereas improving litter size [2].

Clinical trial: Clinically, 17-hydroxyprogesterone has been evaluated in newborn screening programs as the biomarker to detect the rare but potentially fatal inherited disease, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Results showed that the respiratory distress syndrome was related with higher 17-hydroxyprogesterone level. In addition, higher 17-hydroxyprogesterone and false positives were found to be significantly related with lower gestational age and birth weight, which was the same as that previously reported [3].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
