Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 40 mg/mL (127.2 mM)
Ethanol 20 mg/mL (63.6 mM)
Water Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.33mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 6.6 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
2.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 40 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Progesterone is an endogenous steroid hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans and other species. A potent agonist of the nuclear progesterone receptor (nPR) with Kd of 1 nM; An agonist of the membrane progesterone receptors(mPRs); An antagonist of the σ1 receptor.
Targets
progestogen Receptor [1]
In vitro

Progesterone has biphasic effects on proliferation of breast cancer cells; it stimulates growth in the first cell cycle, then arrests cells at G1/S of the second cycle accompanied by up-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21. Progesterone-mediated transcription is further prevented by overexpression of E1A, suggesting that CBP/p300 is required. [1] Progesterone drives a series of events where luminal cells probably provide Wnt4 and RANKL signals to basal cells which in turn respond by upregulating their cognate receptors, transcriptional targets and cell cycle markers. [2] Progesterone treatment increases the sensitivity of cortical synaptoneurosomes to GABA (i.e., decreased the EC50) and increases the maximal efficacy with which GABA stimulated Cl- transport (i.e., increased the Emax). [3]
In vivo

Progesterone blocks the beneficial effect of estrogen on Abeta accumulation but not on behavioral performance in female 3xTg-AD mice. Progesterone significantly reduces tau hyperphosphorylation when administered both alone and in combination with estrogen. [4] Progesterone-treated rats are less impaired on a Morris water maze spatial navigation task than rats treated with the oil vehicle. Progesterone-treated rats also show less neuronal degeneration 21 days after injury in the medial dorsal thalamic nucleus, a structure that has reciprocal connections with the contused area. [5]
