Quingestrone, also known as progesterone 3-cyclopentyl enol ether (PCPE) and sold under the brand name Enol-Luteovis, is a progestin medication which was previously used in birth control pills in Italy but is now no longer marketed.[1][2][3][4][5] It is taken by mouth.[6]

Quingestrone is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone.[1][7][8] It has weak glucocorticoid activity.[9][10][11]

Quingestrone was introduced for medical use by 1962.[6][12] It is no longer available.[13]
