Norelgestromin, the progestin, is the active metabolite of norgestimate and is structurally related to 19-nortestosterone. Norgestimate and norelgestromin mimic the physiologic effects of progesterone at the progesterone receptor. Johnson & Johnson developed an adhesive female contraceptive patch that contains ethinylestradiol (0.75mg) and the progestogen norelgestromin (6mg). his product is a combination contraceptive acting via the inhibition gonadotropins. Its primary mechanism of action involves the suppression of ovulation, including changes in the cervical mucus and endometrium. The patch delivers a continuous flow of hormones through the skin and into the bloodstream. The contraceptive patch is available in countries worldwide.

Comment: compounds that inhibit or induce CYP3A4 such as cobicistat, LPR/RTV combination, RTV/ATV combination and EFZ significantly altered the exposure and PK of NGMN (Vogler et al., 2010; Polina German, 2011; Sevinsky et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2011). A fixed dose combination ofelvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate increased NGMN’s exposure by greater than 2-fold which is consistent with cobicistat’s irreversible CYP3A4 inhibition properties (Polina German, 2011).

Sample Use Guides

Transdermal system: 150 mcg/day norelgestromin and 35 mcg/day ethinyl estradiol.
Route of Administration: Transdermal
After 24h incubation of physiological concentrations of estrone sulfate 5 nM the inhibitory effect of norelgestromin (NGMN) (a metabolite of norgestimate) at concentrations of 5 nM, 0.5 uM and 50 uM was 43, 74 and 97%, respectively, in T-47D cells; 25, 57 and 96 respectively, in MCF-7 cells. Comparative studies using medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) showed that this progestin also has an inhibitory effect on sulfatase activity, but significantly less intense than that of NGMN. The inhibition for MPA at concentrations of 5 nM, 0.5 uM and 50 uM was 31, 47 and 61, respectively, for T-47D cells; 6, 20 and 63, respectively, for MCF-7 cells.
