Flavonoid phytoprogestin compounds as progesterone receptor modulators for endometrium receptivity: A systematic screening and an in silico analysis

Herbal medicines are gaining popularity as an alternative treatment for women's health problems, especially infertility. Phytoprogestins are compounds derived from natural ingredients with progestogenic activity and can be used as an alternative treatment to eliminate undesirable side effects d...

description Herbal medicines are gaining popularity as an alternative treatment for women's health problems, especially infertility. Phytoprogestins are compounds derived from natural ingredients with progestogenic activity and can be used as an alternative treatment to eliminate undesirable side effects due to hormonal therapy. This study aimed to screen phytoprogestin compounds that exhibit a binding affinity for the progesterone receptor (PR) using virtual screening and molecular docking. A PRISMAguided systematic search of flavonoid compounds from PubMed and ScienceDirect literature databases resulted in nine selected flavonoid compounds: baicalein, daidzein, decursinol, liquiritigenin, irilone, naringenin, glycyrrhizin, kaempferol and apigenin.
