Product Description

Etonogestrel (ORG3236; ORG-3236; Nexplanon; Implano; NuvaRing; Circlet) is a synthetic progestin derivative with long half-life that is an active metabolite of desogestrel and has been used in numerous hormonal contraceptive devices. It is a birth control pill that women can use as an implant under their skin under their upper arm or as a vaginal ring combined with ethinylestradiol.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite
ln Vitro
Etonogestrel reduces fertility through preventing the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), a reproductive hormone crucial to ovulation.
Etonogestrel also makes cervical mucus more viscous, which prevents spermatozoa from passing through and modifies the uterine lining to stop a fertilized egg from implanting into the endometrium.
Etonogestrel, a progestin, is an oxidative substrate of CYP 3A4.
Etonogestrel induces the expression of FKBP51 mRNA and protein in cultured human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs)[1].
ln Vivo
Etonogestrel (Implanon, Nexplanon, 3-Oxodesogestrel, 3-keto-Desogestrel) is a synthetic version of progesterone, a hormone that is naturally present in female sex.
Cell Assay
In basal medium (BM), which is a 1:1 v/v mixture of Dulbecco's MEM and Ham's F-12 without phenol red, thawed HESCs are grown to confluence with 100U/ml penicillin, 100μg/ml streptomycin, and 0.25μg/ml fungizone complex supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped calf serum. Confluent HESCs are cultured in parallel in BM with 0.1% ethanol (vehicle control), 10 nM ethradiol or E2+100 nM progesterone, or 100 nM of either MPA (medroxyprogesterone acetate) or ETO (etonogestrel). The cultures are kept in a serum-free defined media (DM) that contains BM plus ITS+ (insulin, transferrin, selenium, and linoleic acid) premix, 5 μM of FeSO4, 50 μM of ZnSO4, 1 nM of CuSO4, 20 nM of Na2SeO3 trace elements, 50 μg/ml of ascorbic acid, and 50 ng/ml of recombinant epidermal growth factor. The cultures are kept in this medium for seven days after the serum is removed twice using 1X phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to remove any remaining serum. After twice washing the cultures in 1X PBS to get rid of any remaining steroids, DM containing the appropriate vehicle control or steroids is added to the cultures for either six or twenty-four hours. Following their incubation periods, HESCs are stored at −70°C after being rinsed with ice-cold 1X PBS and prepared for total RNA and protein extraction.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 50~65 mg/mL (154.1~200.3 mM)
Ethanol: 65 mg/mL (~200.3 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.71 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.0820 mL 15.4102 mL 30.8204 mL
5 mM 0.6164 mL 3.0820 mL 6.1641 mL
10 mM 0.3082 mL 1.5410 mL 3.0820 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
