E-17 alpha-(2-[125I]iodovinyl)-19-nortestosterone: the synthesis of a gamma-emitting ligand for the progesterone receptor. 1985

R B Hochberg, and R M Hoyte, and W Rosner

We have synthesized a gamma-emitting steroid, E-17 alpha-(2-[125I]iodovinyl)-19-nortestosterone (E-IVNT), which is a useful ligand for the sensitive and accurate assay of the progesterone receptor. The synthetic scheme is rapid and is performed with readily available materials. This compound, [125I]E-IVNT, is stable and binds with high affinity to the progesterone receptor.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries

D009277	Nandrolone	C18 steroid with androgenic and anabolic properties. It is generally prepared from alkyl ethers of ESTRADIOL to resemble TESTOSTERONE but less one carbon at the 19 position.	19-Nortestosterone,Estrenolone,Norandrostenolone,Nortestosterone,17-Hydroxy-Estr-4-Ene-3-One,17beta-Hydroxy-19-Nor-4-Androsten-3-One,17beta Hydroxy 19 Nor 4 Androsten 3 One
D011397	Promegestone	A synthetic progestin which is useful for the study of progestin distribution and progestin tissue receptors, as it is not bound by transcortin and binds to progesterone receptors with a higher association constant than progesterone.	17,21-Dimethyl-19-nor-4,9-pregnadiene-3,20-dione,Promestone,R-5020,R5020,RU-5020,RU5020,Surgestone,R 5020,RU 5020
D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011980	Receptors, Progesterone	Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D000345	Affinity Labels	Analogs of those substrates or compounds which bind naturally at the active sites of proteins, enzymes, antibodies, steroids, or physiological receptors. These analogs form a stable covalent bond at the binding site, thereby acting as inhibitors of the proteins or steroids.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
