Biological Activity
Lynestrenol is a synthetic progestational hormone that functions as an agonist of the progesterone receptor while exhibiting weak androgenic and estrogenic activities. Upon interacting with steroid hormone receptors, it modulates downstream gene transcription and regulates hormone-responsive pathways. These downstream functional actions lead to the alteration of cellular proliferation and differentiation phenotypes in target tissues. [1]

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
