Refisolone (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code names PH-80, Salubrin, and ORG-39479), also known as 10-hydroxy-16α,17α-epoxyestr-4-en-3-one, is a vomeropherine (pherine) which is under development for the treatment of hot flashes, migraine, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It is taken intranasally as a nasal spray. The pharmacology of refisolone has been studied and reported. The drug is under development by Pherin Pharmaceuticals and VistaGen Therapeutics, with the former having been acquired by the latter in 2023. As of December 2025, refisolone is in phase 2 clinical trials for all indications. However, a phase 3 trial of refisolone for PMDD is also reported to have been registered in 2015, though its status is listed as unknown.
