Product Description
Norelgestromin is the metabolite of Norgestimate. Norgestimate metabolite Norelgestromin is a click chemical agent. It has Alkyne groups and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing Azide groups.
Norelgestromin (CAS#: 53016-31-2) is the active metabolite of the progestin norgestimate. It is formed from norgestimate via deacetylation in human liver microsomes. It is used for contraception and menopausal hormonal therapy, often delivered transdermally or in combination with ethinyl estradiol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Norelgestromin inhibits estrone sulfatase, an enzyme that converts sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens. It also has agonistic binding affinities for progesterone and estrogen receptors, similar to its parent compound norgestimate.
ln Vitro
In vitro, norelgestromin inhibits estrone sulfatase activity, thereby reducing the local production of estrogens from sulfated precursors. This action is relevant for both its contraceptive effects and potential applications in estrogen-sensitive conditions like breast cancer.
ln Vivo
In vivo, the combination of norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol suppresses follicular development, induces changes to the endometrium that decrease implantation chances, and thickens cervical mucus to impede sperm motility. These actions collectively contribute to its contraceptive efficacy.
Enzyme Assay
The estrone sulfatase inhibition assay is performed using cell-free systems containing the recombinant enzyme and a fluorogenic substrate. Norelgestromin is incubated with the enzyme, and the decrease in fluorescent product formation is measured to determine its inhibitory potency and IC50 value.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays are conducted using human breast cancer cell lines (e.g., MCF-7) to evaluate the compound's effect on estrone sulfatase activity and cell proliferation. Cells are treated with norelgestromin, and sulfatase activity is measured using radiolabeled or fluorogenic substrates.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy is typically assessed in female animal models (e.g., rats or rabbits) where norelgestromin is administered via transdermal patches or oral gavage. Parameters such as ovulation inhibition, endometrial thickness, and cervical mucus viscosity are measured to evaluate its contraceptive effects and hormonal activity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Norelgestromin (C21H29NO2) is formulated for transdermal delivery as a patch or in combination with ethinyl estradiol as a vaginal ring. Its pharmacokinetics are characterized by absorption through the skin, leading to sustained systemic levels suitable for once-weekly or monthly administration regimens.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of norelgestromin is derived from its clinical use as a hormonal contraceptive. Common side effects include those associated with progestin therapy, such as mood changes, weight gain, and breast tenderness. Long-term safety data are available from post-marketing surveillance of norgestimate and its metabolites.
Additional Infomation
Norelgestromin is a steroid. It is derived from the hydrogenation of estradiol.
See also: Norelgestromin (note moved to).
Norelgestromin is a progestin used for the prevention of pregnancy. It may potentially be used in breast cancer treatment due to its inhibitory effect on estrone sulfatase. It is marketed under brand names such as Evra, Xulane, and Zafemy. Its chemical formula is C21H29NO2, with a UNII ID of R0TAY3X631.
