Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	progestogen Receptor
In vitro	Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) inhibits the enzyme 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, involved in the reversible conversion between 5alpha-dihydroprogesterone (DHP) and 3alpha, 5alpha-tetrahydroprogesterone (THP), and therefore may affect the local actions of DHP and THP in the brain. It reduces secretion of IL-6 and PTHrP from human breast cancer cells. This compound dose-dependently decreases the secretion and mRNA expression of IL-6 and PTHrP in the KTC-2 cells. MPA and dexamethasone dose dependently increase alpha-ENaC promoter-driven luciferase activity in M-1 cells, which is not inhibited by Org31710, indicating that it regulates alpha-ENaC in a PR-independent manner. This compound and dexamethasone, but not progesterone, dose dependently increase alpha-ENaC and sgk1 mRNA in M-1 and in Madin-Darby canine kidney-C7 cells, both collecting duct cell lines. At 0.1 nM, it significantly enhances the in vitro production of specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, an effect that appears to involve the interaction of the progestin with PRG receptors
In vivo	Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) impairs delayed memory retention on the water radial-arm maze (WRAM) and exacerbates overnight forgetting on the Morris maze (MM) in aged ovariectomized (OVX) rats. It significantly and progesterone marginally decreases GAD levels in the hippocampus, while both MPA and progesterone significantly increase GAD levels in the entorhinal cortex.
