Norgestrel,(+) (dextronorgestrel) is the biologically inactive isomer of norgestrel. Dextronorgestrel showed no ability to displace labelled levonorgestrel from the sex hormone binding globulin sites. In vitro active form being converted mainly to the 16 beta-hydroxysteroid and inactive form to the 16 alpha-hydroxysteroid. There was practically no binding to dextronorgestrel of dextronorgestrel to a cytoplasmic receptor prepared from the myometrium of estrogenized immature female rabbits was investigated. While some medications may contain dextronorgestrel, they are often labeled in terms of their levonorgestrel content only, ignoring the inert isomer.

Sample Use Guides
Each incubation tube contained 12 mM NADPH, 0.1 ml nicotinamide solution, 0.1 ml 0.1 mM MgCl, solution, 0.1 ml 0.1 mM MnCl, solution and 4 ml rabbit microsomal suspension (equivalent to 40 mg protein). The radioactive steroid (5.4 u Ci in 0.05 ml propane-1,2-diol) was added to the tube and the volume made up to 6ml with 0.5 M Tris buffer pH 7.4. The steroid-tissue ratio was 1:400. The metabolism of D-norgestrel was rapid, more than 50% being metabolised within 10 min and more than 80% within 30 min, whereas for the biologically inactive L-norgestrel, only 50% had been metabolised after 30min incubation.
