Algestone

Algestone (INN), also known as alphasone or alfasone, as well as dihydroxyprogesterone, is a progestin which was never marketed.[1] Another progestin, algestone acetophenide, in contrast, has been marketed as a hormonal contraceptive.[1]

Chemistry

Algestone, also known as 16α,17α-dihydroxyprogesterone or as 16α,17α-dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, is a synthetic pregnane steroid and a derivative of progesterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone.[1] Closely related analogues of algestone include 16α-hydroxyprogesterone, algestone acetonide, and algestone acetophenide.

gollark: I suppose the best ways to get around that would be to... either specify a power which is small and not very useful so they won't meddle with it much, specify one which *seems* small and non-useful but isn't, rigorously and precisely specify a useful one, or just get some sort of ridiculously meta power.
gollark: Why would the person before you make there be a side effect? Just being spiteful and annoying?
gollark: You can actually run it in one of the many CC emulators which run out of the game, too, and this is where I do much of the testing.
gollark: Also it's entirely stored on pastebin and has no version control and is split across probably 15 different files.
gollark: I added a thing where I can remote into potatOS computers for... definitely debugging purposes... and run code, which makes it much easier to patch sandbox escapes where silly triangles don't release the code.
