Progesterone receptor (PR) is a member of the steroid/thyroid hormone-retinoid receptor superfamily of ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors. Progesterone receptor plays a vital role in female reproductive tissue development, differentiation, and maintenance.

Progesterone receptor is able to bind to a large number and variety of ligands that elicit a broad range of transcriptional responses ranging from full agonism to full antagonism and numerous mixed profiles inbetween. Progesterone receptor, such as progesterone, induces conformation changes in PR ligand binding domain (LBD), thus mediates subsequent gene regulation cascades.

In humans, the biological response to progesterone is mediated by two distinct forms of the progesterone receptor (human PR-A and PR-B).

    Ulipristal acetate-d3
    		Antagonist
    Ulipristal acetate-d3 (CDB-2914-d3) is deuterium labeled Ulipristal acetate. Ulipristal acetate (CDB-2914) is an orally active, selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM). Ulipristal acetate stimulates the autophagic response selectively in leiomyoma cells. Ulipristal acetate has the potential for benign gynecological conditions treatment, such as uterine myoma.

    Lilopristone
    		Antagonist
    Lilopristone (ZK98734) is a progesterone antagonist with a potential to induce menstruation, inhibit nidation, and terminate pregnancy. Lilopristone blocks progesterone action at the endometrium as well as decreases progesterone bioavailability, and can be utilized in antifertility research.
