General description

Melengestrol acetate belongs to the family of hormones. This acetylgestagen compound is known to elicit a gestagenic effect in vivo.

Application

Melengestrol acetate may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in:
  • Milk using turborFlow online solid phase extraction (SPE) combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
  • Kidney fats by ultra-performance convergence chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

The use of gestagens in animal fattening is prohibited within the European Union. Recently, the use of spectrometric methods for the detection and confirmation of banned substances was made obligatory. Therefore, conventional high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods have been superseded.
