Hormone

Choriogonadotropin Alfa

Choriogonadotropin alfa is a recombinant form of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a glycoprotein hormone used in reproductive medicine. Rather than being extracted from the urine of pregnant women, it is manufactured with recombinant DNA technology, and it is given by injection to trigger the final maturation and release of an egg during fertility treatment. It is marketed under brand names such as Ovidrel and Ovitrelle.

ORG-43902

ORG-43902 is an experimental small-molecule agonist of the luteinizing hormone (LH) receptor, developed by the pharmaceutical company Organon. Unlike the natural hormones that activate this receptor, which are large glycoproteins given by injection, ORG-43902 is a low-molecular-weight compound intended to be taken by mouth. It was investigated as a potential oral means of inducing ovulation in the setting of assisted reproduction. In an early clinical study a single oral dose was reported to trigger ovulation, but the compound has remained an investigational research agent rather than an approved medicine.
