Prasterone sulfate

Index Prasterone sulfate

Prasterone sulfate (brand names Astenile, Mylis, Teloin, others), also known as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), is a naturally occurring androstane steroid which is marketed and used in Japan and other countries as a labor inducer in the treatment of insufficient cervical ripening and dilation during childbirth.

Anabolic steroid

Anabolic steroids, also known as anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), are a class of drugs that are structurally related to testosterone, the main male sex hormone, and produce effects by binding to the androgen receptor (AR). Prasterone sulfate and anabolic steroid are Anabolic–androgenic steroids.

See Prasterone sulfate and Anabolic steroid

Androgen

An androgen (from Greek andr-, the stem of the word meaning "man") is any natural or synthetic steroid hormone that regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors. Prasterone sulfate and androgen are Anabolic–androgenic steroids.

See Prasterone sulfate and Androgen

Androgen ester

An androgen or anabolic steroid ester is an ester of an androgen/anabolic steroid (AAS) such as the natural testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or the synthetic nandrolone (19-nortestosterone). Prasterone sulfate and androgen ester are Anabolic–androgenic steroids, androgen esters and Androstanes.

See Prasterone sulfate and Androgen ester

Androstane

Androstane is a C19 steroidal hydrocarbon with a gonane core. Prasterone sulfate and Androstane are Anabolic–androgenic steroids and Androstanes.

See Prasterone sulfate and Androstane

Argentina

Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country in the southern half of South America.

See Prasterone sulfate and Argentina

Cervical dilation

Cervical dilation (or cervical dilatation) is the opening of the cervix, the entrance to the uterus, during childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion, or gynecological surgery.

See Prasterone sulfate and Cervical dilation

Cervical effacement

Cervical effacement or cervical ripening refers to the thinning and shortening of the cervix.

See Prasterone sulfate and Cervical effacement

Childbirth

Childbirth, also known as labour, parturition and delivery, is the completion of pregnancy where one or more babies exits the internal environment of the mother via vaginal delivery or caesarean section.

See Prasterone sulfate and Childbirth

China

China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia.

See Prasterone sulfate and China

Ester

In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.

See Prasterone sulfate and Ester

Estrogen

Estrogen (oestrogen; see spelling differences) is a category of sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. Prasterone sulfate and Estrogen are Estrogens.

See Prasterone sulfate and Estrogen

Injection (medicine)

An injection (often and usually referred to as a "shot" in US English, a "jab" in UK English, or a "jag" in Scottish English and Scots) is the act of administering a liquid, especially a drug, into a person's body using a needle (usually a hypodermic needle) and a syringe.

Italy

Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern and Western Europe.

See Prasterone sulfate and Italy

Japan

Japan is an island country in East Asia, located in the Pacific Ocean off the northeast coast of the Asian mainland.

Labor induction

Labor induction is the process or treatment that stimulates childbirth and delivery.

See Prasterone sulfate and Labor induction

Natural product

A natural product is a natural compound or substance produced by a living organism—that is, found in nature.

See Prasterone sulfate and Natural product

Neurosteroid

Neurosteroids, also known as neuroactive steroids, are endogenous or exogenous steroids that rapidly alter neuronal excitability through interaction with ligand-gated ion channels and other cell surface receptors. Prasterone sulfate and Neurosteroid are Neurosteroids.

See Prasterone sulfate and Neurosteroid

Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of the biochemical and physiologic effects of drugs (especially pharmaceutical drugs).

See Prasterone sulfate and Pharmacodynamics

Portugal

Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic, is a country located on the Iberian Peninsula in Southwestern Europe, whose territory also includes the Macaronesian archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira.

See Prasterone sulfate and Portugal

Prasterone

Prasterone, also known as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and sold under the brand name Intrarosa among others, is a medication as well as over-the-counter dietary supplement which is used to correct DHEA deficiency due to adrenal insufficiency or old age, as a component of menopausal hormone therapy, to treat painful sexual intercourse due to vaginal atrophy, and to prepare the cervix for childbirth, among other uses. Prasterone sulfate and Prasterone are Anabolic–androgenic steroids, Androstanes, Estrogens, GABAA receptor negative allosteric modulators, NMDA receptor agonists, Neurosteroids, pregnane X receptor agonists, sex hormone esters and conjugates and Sigma agonists.

See Prasterone sulfate and Prasterone

Prohormone

A prohormone is a committed precursor of a hormone consisting of peptide hormones synthesized together that has a minimal hormonal effect by itself because of its expression-suppressing structure, often created by protein folding and binding additional peptide chains to certain ends, that makes hormone receptor binding sites located on its peptide hormone chain segments inaccessible.

See Prasterone sulfate and Prohormone

Sodium salts

Sodium salts are salts composed of a sodium cation and the conjugate base anion of some inorganic or organic acids.

See Prasterone sulfate and Sodium salts

Steroid

A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

See Prasterone sulfate and Steroid

Sulfate

The sulfate or sulphate ion is a polyatomic anion with the empirical formula.
