20α-Dihydroprogesterone (20α-DHP), also known as 20α-hydroxyprogesterone (20α-OHP), is a naturally occurring, endogenous progestogen.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is a metaboliteofprogesterone, formed by the 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (20α-HSDs) AKR1C1, AKR1C2, and AKR1C3 and the 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) HSD17B1.^[4]^[5] 20α-DHP can be transformed back into progesterone by 20α-HSDs and by the 17β-HSD HSD17B2.^[6]^[7] HSD17B2 is expressed in the human endometrium and cervix among other tissues.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[7] In animal studies, 20α-DHP has been found to be selectively taken up into and retained in target tissues such as the uterus, brain, and skeletal muscle.^[6]

20α-DHP has very low affinity for the progesterone receptor and is much less potent as a progestogen in comparison to progesterone, with about one-fifth of the relative progestogenic activity.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[11]^[12]^[6]^[13] It has also been found to act as an aromatase inhibitor and to inhibit the production of estrogeninbreast tissue in vitro.^[14]

A single 200-mg oral dose of micronized progesterone has been found to result in peak levels of 20α-DHP of around 1 ng/mL after 2 hours.^[15] In another study however, peak levels of 20α-DHP were around 10 ng/mL during therapy with 300 mg/day oral micronized progesterone.^[16] 20α-DHP is formed from progesterone in the liver and in target tissues such as the endometrium.^[16] It appears to be more slowly eliminated than progesterone.^[16]

Levels of 5α-DHP have been quantified.^[17]

In addition to progesterone, 20α- and 20β-hydroxyprogesterone (20α- and 20β-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3-one) also are found. These compounds have about one-fifth the progestational activity of progesterone in humans and other species.
