Allylestrenol
Pharmacology
Allylestrenol is an oral Gestagen. In castrated animals, it has a potent pregnancy-maintaining action without producing hormonal side-effects, in particular no masculinisation of female foetuses. Clinical studies have indicated that Allylestrenol stimulates the endocrine function of the trophoblast. In vitro, Allylestrenol stimulates the placenta to produce more progesterone. In patients with pregnancy at risk, abnormally low levels of placental hormones (HCG, HPL, oestrogens and progesterone) and some specific enzymes (oxytocinase, CAP) were found to be increased to normal during treatment. In the majority of patients with pregnancy at risk who were treated with Allylestrenol the threat of abortion was removed and pregnancy brought to term without complications. Allylestrenol is very well tolerated. Side-effects of any importance have not been observed.
