11-Dehydroprogesterone
11-Dehydroprogesterone, also known as pregna-4,11-diene-3,20-dione, is a steroidal progestin that was never marketed.[1][2][3] It was found to be 2- to 3-fold as potent as progesterone as a progestogen in animal bioassays,[1][4] although other studies found them to be equivalent in potency.[2] 11-Dehydroprogesterone has been studied in women.[5] It was discovered in the 1930s or 1940s and was one of the earliest synthetic progestogens.[3]
