Norgestomet (INN, USAN, BAN) (brand name Syncro-Mate B; former developmental code name SC-21009), or norgestamet, also known as 11β-methyl-17α-acetoxy-19-norprogesterone, is a steroidal progestin of the 19-norprogesterone group used in veterinary medicine to control estrus and ovulation in cattle.[1][2] It was developed and introduced in the mid-1970s.[3] In addition to the progesterone receptor, norgestomet possesses weak (micromolar) affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor.[4]
