摘要
The relative binding affinity of norgestimate for human sex hormone-binding globulin was compared with that of its metabolites and other progestins by measuring their abilities to displace [H-3]testosterone from this carrier protein in vitro. Norgestimate and its 17-deacetylated and 3-keto metabolites did not significantly displace [H-3]testosterone from sex hormone-binding globulin at concentrations up to 10,000 nM, whereas gestodene, levonorgestrel, and 3-keto desogestrel displaced [H-3]testosterone from sex hormone-binding globulin with IC50 concentrations of 23.1, 53.4, and 91.0 nM, respectively. Since it is believed that a progestin may exert androgenic effects by displacing testosterone from sex hormone-binding globulin, thereby increasing circulating levels of free, active testosterone, these data are consistent with the results of preclinical and clinical studies demonstrating the selective progestational activity of norgestimate.
