Biological Activity

Description Desogestrel (Cerazette, Desogen, Desogestrelum, Org-2969) is a synthetic progestational hormone used often as the progestogenic component of combined oral contraceptive agents.
In vivo Desogestrel is extensively metabolized after oral administration to rats and dogs; In rats, desogestrel is metabolized mainly at the C3, C5, C11, and C15 positions. An hydroxy group is introduced at the 15α-position of desogestrel, followed by conjugation with glucuronic acid. In dogs, desogestrel is mainly metabolized at the C3- and C17-positions[1].
