説明
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, also known as Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate or MPA, is a synthetic progestogen and a steroidal progestin. It is derived from the human hormone progesterone. It prevents fertilization and increases the rate of transport of eggs from the fallopian tubes to the uterus in female ferrets when administered prior to ovulation. Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate reversibly blocks ovulation in rats when injected on the last day of diestrus. It also has anti-androgenic activity in rats, decreasing plasma testosterone levels via induction of hepatic testosterone reductase activity. Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate exhibits immunosuppressive effects in vitro and in vivo, inhibiting the production of IFN-γ by CD2/CD3/CD28-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at concentrations ≥10 nM and extending the survival of rabbit skin allografts. Injectable formulations containing medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate have been used as contraceptives.
化学的特性
White or almost white, crystalline powder.
使用
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate is a synthetic progesterone receptor agonist that is used to treat amenorrhea (unusual stopping of menstrual periods) and abnormal uterine bleeding.
定義
ChEBI: Medroxyprogesterone acetate is an acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the 17alpha-hydroxy group of medroxyprogesterone with the carboxy group of acetic acid. A widely used progestin in menopausal hormone therapy and in progestogen-only birth control. It has a role as a progestin, an androgen, a female contraceptive drug, a synthetic oral contraceptive, an adjuvant, an inhibitor, an antioxidant and an antineoplastic agent. It is a steroid ester, an acetate ester, a 20-oxo steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and a corticosteroid. It is functionally related to a medroxyprogesterone.
世界保健機関（WHO）
A depot preparation containing 150 mg medroxyprogesterone
acetate was introduced over 20 years ago for use as a long-acting injectable
contraceptive. Subsequently, positive results of carcinogenicity studies carried out
in beagle bitches led to refusal of registration in the United States. These findings
were later considered irrelevant to contraceptive use in women and the drug was
approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Menstrual irregularities are the
most common adverse effect associated with depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
Risk-benefit judgements differ significantly from country to country, having regard
to differing national circumstances. The preparation is, however, widely available
and is included in the WHO Model List of Essential Drugs.

一般的な説明
Medroxyprogesterone acetate is an odorless white to off-white microcrystalline powder. It is a synthetic, acetate derivative of the sex hormone progesterone. (NTP, 1992)
空気と水の反応
Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate is sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Insoluble in water.
反応プロフィール
Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
危険性
Possible carcinogen.
火災危険
Flash point data for Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate are not available; however, Medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate is probably combustible.
安全性プロファイル
Suspected carcinogen
with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, tumorigenic, and teratogenic data.
Human systemic effects by intravenous
route: increased intraocular pressure. Human teratogenic effects by an unspecified
route: developmental abnormalities of the
urogenital system. Human reproductive
effects by multiple routes:
spermatogenesis, menstrual cycle changes or
dlsorders, postpartum effects, female fertility
effects, abortion, newborn behavioral
effects. Human mutation data reported.
Experimental reproductive effects. A drug
for the treatment of secondary amenorrhoea
and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid
smoke and irritating fumes.
代謝
Among the first of these substituted 17α-acetoxyprogesterone analogues to be utilized therapeutically was medroxyprogesterone
acetate, a 6α-methyl progesterone analogue. This analogue is 25-fold more active than ethisterone. Following oral
administration, medroxyprogesterone acetate is completely and rapidly deacetylated by first-pass metabolism to
medroxyprogesterone. Medroxyprogesterone is extensively metabolized via pathways similar to those for progesterone, except for
6α-hydroxylation. Most medroxyprogesterone acetate metabolites are excreted in the urine, primarily as glucuronide conjugates.
Plasma protein binding for medroxyprogesterone is approximately 86%, primarily to serum albumin, with no binding to SHBG.
