 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 Etonogestrel(54048-10-1) molecule is a 3-ketodesogestrel or 19-nortestosterone which is a synthetic biologically active metabolite of progestin desogestrel. The first product including etonogestrel was developed by the Merck subsidiary Organon and FDA approved in 2001.

 |  | [Uses] 
 A biologically active metabolite of Desogestrel.
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: Etonogestrel is a 17beta-hydroxy steroid, a 3-oxo-Delta(4) steroid and a terminal acetylenic compound. It has a role as a contraceptive drug, a progestin and a female contraceptive drug.
 |  | [Brand name] 
 Implanon (Organon).
 |  | [General Description] 
 Etonogestrel, 17α-13-ethyl-17hydroxy-11-methylene-18,19-dinorpregn-4-en-20-yn-3-one,3-ketodesogestrel, is the active metabolite of desogestrel. It isthe progestin component in a newer implantable contraceptive(Implanon) and in the vaginal contraceptive ring (NuvaRing).
 |  | [Biochem/physiol Actions] 
 Etonogestrel is a lipophilic molecule. Pharmacokinetics studies reveal that etonogestrel is bound to protein albumin in the blood. This remains independent of both endogenous and exogenous concentration of estradiol.
 |  | [Mode of action] 
 Etonogestrel binds to the cytoplasmic progesterone receptors in the reproductive system and subsequently activates progesterone receptor mediated gene expression. As a result of the negative feedback mechanism, luteinizing hormone (LH) release is inhibited, which leads to an inhibition of ovulation and an alteration in the cervical mucus and endometrium.
