The concentration of norethindrone in plasma samples from subjects receiving norethindrone (norethisterone) and lynestrenol orally was measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Norethindrone is a synthetic gestagen widely used in contraceptive formulations, and lynestrenol is also a synthetic gestagen which is metabolized to norethindrone in humans. But the evaluation of plasma norethindrone levels in subjects receiving lynestrenol has not yet been reported. After the administration of norethindrone, the peak level of norethindrone in the plasma was obtained within 2h, and the peak concentration in the plasma was about 3.5 ng/ml/mg norethindrone. During a period of 2-6hs after the administration of norethindrone, the half life of norethindrone in the plasma was approximately 1.8h, and during the period of 6-24hs, half life was variable. On the other hand, after the administration of lynestrenol, the peak level of norethindrone in the plasma was obtained within 4h, and the peak concentration of norethindrone was about 1.9 ng/ml/mg lynestrenol. During a period of 4-12hs, the half life of norethindrone was about 2.5h. The peak of the norethindrone level after the administration of lynestrenol was lower and appeared later than that after the administration of the same dose of norethindrone. Norethindrone in plasma in subjects receiving lynestrenol could be measured for a longer period than in those receiving the same dose of norethindrone. These results suggest that lynestrenol is stored in fat tissue and is slowly metabolized to norethindrone.

PIP: The concentration of norethindrone in plasma samples from subjects receiving norethindrone (norethisterone) and lynestrenol orally was measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Norethindrone is a synthetic gestagen widely used in contraceptive formulations, and lynestrenol is also a synthetic gestagen which is metabolized to norethindrone in humans. But the evaluation of plasma norethindrone levels in subjects receiving lynestrenol has not yet been reported. After the administration of norethindrone, the peak level of norethindrone in the plasma was obtained within 2 hours, and the peak concentration in the plasma was about 3.5 ng/ml/mg norethindrone. During a period of 2-6 hours after the administration of norethindrone, the half-life of norethindrone in the plasma was approximately 1.8 hours, and during the period of 6-24 hours, half-life was variable. On the other hand, after lynestrenol administration, the peak level of norethindrone in the plasma was obtained within 4 hours, and the peak concentration of norethindrone was about 1.9 ng/ml/mg lynestrenol. During a period of 4-12 hours, the half-life of norethindrone was about 2.5 hours. The peak of norethindrone level after lynestrenol administration was lower and appeared later than that after administration of the same dose of norethindrone. Norethindrone in plasma in subjects receiving lynestrenol could be measured for a longer period than in those receiving the same dose of norethindrone. These results suggest that lynestrenol is stored in fat tissue and is slowly metabolized to norethindrone. (author's)
