Chlormethenmadinone acetate (CMMA), also known as chlorsuperlutin, is a progestin medication which was developed in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. [1] It has been used in combination with mestranol in birth control pills under the brand names Biogest, Sterolibrin, and Antigest B, [2] [3] and in veterinary medicine under the brand name Agelin. [4] Analogues of CMMA include bromethenmadinone acetate (bromsuperlutin), which was assessed but was never marketed, [3] [5] and melengestrol acetate (methylsuperlutin), which is used in veterinary medicine.
