16-Dehydroprogesterone Usage And Synthesis

Uses

16-Dehydroprogesterone is used in the direct organocatalytic stereoselective transfer hydrogenation of conjugated olefins of steroids. 16-Dehydroprogesterone is a form of Progesterone (P755900), a steroid hormone produced by the corpus luteum that induces maturation and secretory activity of the uterine endothelium; suppresses ovulation. Progesterone is implicated in the etiology of breast cancer.

Definition

ChEBI: 16,17-didehydroprogesterone is a 20-oxo steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and an enone. It is functionally related to a progesterone.
