17α-Fluor-progesteron, also known as 17α-fluoroprogesterone, is a synthetic derivative of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. It is characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the 17α position, which significantly alters its pharmacological properties compared to the parent compound. This modification enhances its resistance to metabolic degradation, thereby increasing its potency and duration of action. 17α-Fluor-progesteron is used in medical applications, such as in hormone therapy and contraception, due to its ability to suppress ovulation and its impact on the menstrual cycle. The fluorination also makes it a subject of interest in research for potential anti-cancer properties, as it can interfere with the hormone balance in certain types of cancer cells.
The CAS Registry Mumber 800-44-2 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 8,0 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 4 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 800-44: (5*8)+(4*0)+(3*0)+(2*4)+(1*4)=52 52 % 10 = 2 So 800-44-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
