GtoPdb Ligand ID: 7091

Synonyms: dexnorgestrel | ORF-10131 | RWJ-10131
Approved drug
norgestimate is an approved drug (FDA (1989))
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Norgestimate is an acetylated progestin (synthelic progesterone-like compound). It is converted to the primary active metabolite norelgestromin (17-deacetylnorgestimate or levonorgestrel 3-oxime) in vivo. 17-deacetylnorgestimate does not cause the androgenic side effects associated with other 19-nortestosterone progestins.

Ligand Activity Visualisation Charts

These are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts.

2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the CDK toolkit. All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Norgestimate is approved along with ethinyl estradiol in combined oral contraceptive formulations.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Artificial maintainence of high levels of circulating progestin feeds back to reduce the frequency of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulses which blunts the pre-ovulatory lutenising hormone (LH) surge, and the ovaries cease cyclic ovulation.
