Introduction
Progesterone also known as P4 (pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione) is a C-21 steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy (supports gestation) and embryogenesis of humans and other species. Progesterone belongs to a class of hormones called progestogens, and is the major naturally occurring human progestogen.

1-Progesterone also known as P4 is a C-21 steroid homone involved in the female menstrual cycle,
pregnancy(support gestation) and embryogenesis of humans and other species;
2-Progesterone belongs to a class of hormones called progestogens, that is major naturally occurring
human progestogen;
3-Used in the treatment of advanced breast cancer, endometrial adenocarcinoma and kidney cancer;
4-Used in dysmenorrheal, functional amenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, threatened abortion, etc.
5- Progesterone is one of the strongest activity progestogens. It can be used to cure association dues,
Prostatic hyperplasia, renal colic.
Application:
1-Induces maturation and secretory activity of the uterine endothelium, suppresses ovulation. It is
implicated in the etiology of breast cancer;
2-Progesterone is sensitive to light. It is used in biochemical research;
