Prasterone sulfate (brand names Astenile, Mylis, Teloin, others), also known as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), is a naturally occurring androstane steroid which is marketed and used in Japan and other countries as a labor inducer in the treatment of insufficient cervical ripening and dilation during childbirth.[3][1][4][5][6][7][8][9] It is the C3β sulfate ester of prasterone (dehydroepiandrosterone; DHEA), and is known to act as a prohormone of DHEA and by extension of androgens and estrogens,[10] although it also has its own activity as a neurosteroid.[11] Prasterone sulfate is used medically as the sodium salt via injection and is referred to by the name sodium prasterone sulfate (JANTooltip Japanese Accepted Name).[9][12]

Prasterone sulfate is available in Japan, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, and China.[9][13] Brand names include Astenile, Dastonil, Di Luo An, Dinistenile, Levospa, Mylis, Sinsurrene, and Teloin.[9][13]
