A selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM) is an agent that acts on the progesterone receptor (PR), the biological target of progestogens like progesterone.A characteristic that distinguishes such substances from full receptor agonists (e.g., progesterone, progestins) and full antagonists (e.g., aglepristone) is that their action differs in different tissues, i.e. agonist in some ...
Staging breast cancer is the initial step to help physicians determine the most appropriate course of treatment. As of 2016, guidelines incorporated biologic factors, such as tumor grade, cellular proliferation rate, estrogen and progesterone receptor expression, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) expression, and gene expression profiling into the staging system.
The progesterone receptor (PR), also known as NR3C3 or nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 3, is a protein found inside cells. It is activated by the steroid hormone progesterone . In humans, PR is encoded by a single PGR gene residing on chromosome 11q 22, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] it has two isoforms, PR-A and PR-B , that differ in their ...
Progesterone, via transformation into neurosteroids such as 5α-dihydroprogesterone, 5β-dihydroprogesterone, allopregnanolone, and pregnanolone (catalyzed by the enzymes 5α-and 5β-reductase and 3α- and 3β-HSD), is a positive allosteric modulator of the GABA A receptor, and is associated with a variety of effects mediated by this property ...
Progesterone interacts with membrane progesterone receptors, but interaction of progestins with these receptors is less clear. [165] [166] In addition to their progestogenic activity, many progestogens have off-target activities such as androgenic, antiandrogenic, estrogenic, glucocorticoid, and antimineralocorticoid activity.

Progesterone (P4), sold under the brand name Prometrium among others, is a medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone. [20] It is a progestogen and is used in combination with estrogens mainly in hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms and low sex hormone levels in women.
Medrogestone is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone. [2] It has weak antiandrogenic , glucocorticoid , and antimineralocorticoid activity and no other important hormonal activity.
Vaginal weight had a 1.46x increase after a two-week treatment of 10 mg/kg/day of ospemifene. [10] The number of progesterone receptors was increased in the vaginal stroma and epithelium, which indicates that ospemifene has "estrogenic activity." [10] Two 12-week phase 3 clinical trials were performed for ospemifene. [14]
