Quingestanol

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Overview

Quingestanol (INN, BAN) is a steroidal progestin which was never marketed.[1] An acylated derivative, quingestanol acetate, is used as a pharmaceutical drug.[1]

While quingestanol is sometimes used as a synonym for quingestanol acetate, what is almost always being referred to is actually quingestanol acetate and not quingestanol.
