Norgestrel is a progestogen, or an agonist of the progesterone receptor. [6] The biological activity of norgestrel lies in the levo enantiomer, levonorgestrel, whereas the dextro isomer is inactive. [6] As such, norgestrel is identical in its hormonal activity to levonorgestrel except that it is half as potent by weight. [6]
Norgestimate is a rapidly and completely converted prodrug, mainly of norelgestromin (17β-deacetylnorgestimate or levonorgestrel 3-oxime), but also of levonorgestrel (3-keto-17β-deacetylnorgestimate) to a lesser extent (22 ± 6% of an administered dose or about 40–70 μg) [2] and of levonorgestrel acetate (levonorgestrel 17β-acetate) in ...

[8] [3] Relative to norethisterone, noretynodrel has 45 to 81% lower affinity for the androgen receptor (AR). [21] In accordance, no androgenic effects (such as hirsutism , clitoral enlargement , or voice changes ) have been observed with noretynodrel even when used in large dosages (e.g., 60 mg/day) for prolonged periods of time (9–12 months ...
