Description

Solid


17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone is a 17alpha-hydroxy steroid that is the 17alpha-hydroxy derivative of progesterone. It has a role as a metabolite, a progestin, a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 17alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 17alpha-hydroxy-C21-steroid and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It derives from a progesterone.|Hydroxyprogesterone is a Progestin.|Cyproterone is a steroidal antiandrogen that has been used in the treatment of prostate cancer in many countries of the world, but not in the United States. Cyproterone therapy can be associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy and has been linked to many instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury, some of which were fatal.|Hydroxyprogesterone is a physiological progestin that is produced during glucocorticoid and steroid hormone synthesis and is increased during the third trimester of pregnancy. Hydroxyprogesterone binds to the cytoplasmic progesterone receptors in the reproductive system and subsequently activates progesterone receptor mediated gene expression.|A metabolite of PROGESTERONE with a hydroxyl group at the 17-alpha position. It serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of HYDROCORTISONE and GONADAL STEROID HORMONES.

Toxicity

Cyproterone has been associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy in 10% to 14% of patients, but these elevations are usually transient and mild and often resolve even without dose modification. More importantly, cyproterone has been associated with many instances of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice. The time to onset has ranged from a few months to as long as a year, but typically arises within 3 to 6 months of starting treatment. The liver injury is almost always hepatocellular with moderate to marked elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and minimal increases in alkaline phosphatase. Mixed and more cholestatic injury occurs occasionally and may have a more favorable prognosis. Importantly, the hepatocellular injury associated with cyproterone use is often severe and the mortality rate of patients presenting with jaundice is at least 10% (these patients frequently being elderly men with advanced prostate cancer and not qualifying for emergency liver transplantation). Immunoallergic features (fever, rash, eosinophilia) are uncommon, as are autoantibodies. Some patients, however, appear to respond to corticosteroid therapy and rare instances of autoimmune-hepatitis like injury have been attributed to cyproterone. Improvement is usually seen within 1 to 2 weeks of stopping cyproterone and resolution within 1 to 3 months. Nevertheless, many examples of progressive liver injury leading to death from hepatic failure despite prompt discontinuation of therapy have been reported. In rare cases, recovery has been incomplete and patients have had residual evidence of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis.

Drug Information

Cyproterone is a steroidal antiandrogen that has been used in the treatment of prostate cancer in many countries of the world, but not in the United States. Cyproterone therapy can be associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy and has been linked to many instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury, some of which were fatal.

17-Hydroxyprogesterone Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It can be prepared through the steps of ring-opening, acetylation, oxidation, hydrolysis, epoxidation, oxidation, addition, catalytic hydrogenation and other steps.

Uses

17α-Hydroxy Progesterone is a metabolite of Progesterone. It was isolated from adrenal glands.

HYDROXYPROGESTERONE CAPROATE INJECTION, USP (DELALUTIN), IS PROVIDED AS OILY SOLN OF 125 MG/ML (IN SESAME OIL) OR 250 MG/ML (IN CASTOR OIL) FOR IM INJECTION. /CAPROATE/

PROGESTINS CANNOT BE EQUATED AS GROUP WITH PROGESTERONE BECAUSE SOME ARE INHERENTLY ESTROGENIC, SOME SLIGHTLY ANDROGENIC, & SOME PURELY PROGESTATIONAL; CORRESPONDINGLY, THEIR OVULATION-INHIBITING POTENTIALITIES MAY BE MEDIATED IN SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT WAYS. /PROGESTINS/
