Flugestone acetate (FGA) (INN, BAN) (brand names Chronogest, Chrono-Gest, Cronolone, Synchro-Mate, Gyncro-Mate; former developmental code names NSC-65411, SC-9880), or flurogestone acetate (USAN), also known as 17α-acetoxy-9α-fluoro-11β-hydroxyprogesterone, is a steroidal progestin of the 17α-hydroxyprogesterone group that is used in veterinary medicine as an intravaginal sponge preparation to synchronize estrus in ewes and goats. It was developed by G.D. Searle & Company in the 1960s. It is the C17α acetate ester of flugestone.
