| 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.

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. |
