Core-collapse supernovae are very energetic explosions that have a significant impact in the interstellar medium within galaxies. However, it is not well understood how progenitors of core-collapse supernovae form, evolve, and explode. In this talk, I plan to constrain the core-collapse supernova progenitor properties studying their star formation efficiency (or molecular gas depletion time) environments. In summary, it is found that interacting massive binaries occur in regions of intense, efficient star formation rather than simply higher gas content.
