20α-Dihydrotrengestone (20α-DHTG), also known as20α-hydroxytrengestone, as well as6-chloro-20(S)-hydroxy-9β,10α-pregna-1,4,6-trien-3-one, is aprogestin and the majoractive metabolite oftrengestone.[1][2] It appears that trengestone is aprodrug of 20α-DHTG, as it is largelytransformed into thismetabolite when givenorally in humans.[2][1] 20α-DHTG haspotentprogestogenic activity similarly to trengestone.[1]
