Segesterone acetate (elcometrine), a progestin, is sold in combination with ethinyl estradiol under the brand name Annovera. Annovera is indicated for use by females of reproductive potential to prevent pregnancy. Segesterone acetate acts as an agonist of the progesterone receptor and it doesn’t possess estrogenic, androgenic, antiandrogenic, or antimineralocorticoid activity.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Elcometrine is delivered within a single subdermal capsule of medical grade polydimethylsiloxane, containing 50 mg of elcometrine. In clinical trials, administration by a vaginal ring was investigated (150 mg of Nestorone and 15 mg of ethinyl estradiol). The development of transdermal gel containing elcometrine is also reported.

Route of Administration: Other

In Vitro Use Guide

Female Sprague–Dawley rats were ovariectomized and 1 week later, injected daily for 3 days with 1 mg 17 b-estradiol (E2) to induce synthesis of PR. The animals were killed on day 4, uteri were collected over dry ice and homogenized. Aliquot of cytosol were incubated overnight at 4°C in glass tubes with [3H]promegestone with or without cold nestorone at different concentrations. The bound and free radioactivity was separated by the dextran-charcoal method.
