Clomegestone acetate
Clomegestone acetate (USAN) (developmental code name SH-741), or clomagestone acetate, also known as 6-chloro-17α-acetoxy-16α-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, is a steroidal progestin of the 17α-hydroxyprogesterone group which was developed as an oral contraceptive but was never marketed.[1][2] It is the acetate ester of clomegestone, which, similarly to clomegestone acetate, was never marketed.[1] Clomegestone acetate is also the 17-desoxy cogener of clometherone, and is somewhat more potent in comparison.[3] Similarly to cyproterone acetate, clomegestone acetate has been found to alter insulin receptor concentrations in adipose tissue, and this may indicate the presence of glucocorticoid activity.[4][5]
