4.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

The tissue distribution of 4-14C-lynestrenol (17 alpha-ethynyl-oestr-4-en-17 beta-ol) following oral administration to pregnant rats was studied by whole body autoradiography and liquid scintillation counting. Pregnant females were sacrificed on days 10, 12, 14 and 19 of gestation, in each case 5 hours after oral administration of 43 uCi 4-14C-lynestrenol per animal. The isotopelabelled compound was distributed throughout most tissues, including the fetuses. The highest concentrations were found in the liver, while there was lower activity in the fatty tissues and the activity in the fetuses was comparable with that in the brain. The placental transfer was verified by the results of liquid scintillation counting. The concentration of labelled substance in the fetuses increased with the duration of pregnancy.

... 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.

The peak concentration, peak time, the area under the serum concentration time curve (AUC) and half-life of serum norethisterone (NET) after a single application of lynestrenol (LYN) to female volunteers demonstrated that 0.7 mg NET is bioequivalent to 1 mg LYN which is rapidly converted to NET. There was a decrease of the peak values and an increase of half-life of NET during the periovulatory and luteal phase which was, however, not significant due to the great individual differences. The shift of the peak time to longer intervals and the increase of half-life of NET after ingestion of higher LYN doses indicate a certain limitation of the metabolic capacity of the liver. ...

... Eleven normal males were administer either 1 capsule containing 2.5 mg lynestrenol and 0.05 mg ethynylestradiol or tablets containing the same dose of steroids. Blood samples were taken just before and 1,2,4,8, and 24 hours after the drugs were administered. 8 days later the subjects were given the opposite formulations and blood samples were again obtained at the same time intervals. Radioimmunoassay was used to assess levels of free and conjugated ethynylestradiol and norethisterone in the serum samples. Biovailability assessments were made by calculating the areas under the time-concentration curves. Results demonstrated that the conversion of lynestrenol to norethisterone in vivo was complete. Unconjugated ethynylestradiol mean values, 2 and 4 hours after administration of the drugs, were higher for capsules than for tablets. For blood samples taken at other time periods the mean values of unconjugated ethynylestradiol were similar for both capsules and tablets. For conjugated ethynylestradiol the mean values and the areas under the curve, for blood samples obtained at each time interval, showed no significant difference for tablets and capsules.

167 women were treated with 0.5 mg lynestrenol/day for a period of 8-32 weeks immediately postpartum. The lactation periods of 67 of the women were observed during the stay in hospital (maximum 7 days) in comparison with a control group (n = 20) of untreated women in the puerperium. There was no quantitative difference in milk production between the lynestrenol-treated women and the control group. ...

4.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

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.

Although /little/ is known about the transformation of lynestrenol and norethynodrel, it appears that lynestrenol first undergoes hydroxylation at carbon 3 and then oxidation of the hydroxyl group to form norethisterone.

IARC. Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans. Geneva: World Health Organization, International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1972-PRESENT. (Multivolume work). Available at: https://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Classification/index.php, p. V91 146 (2007)


There is limited information on the metabolism of levonorgestrel, norethindrone and structurally related contraceptive steroids. Both levonorgestrel and norethindrone undergo extensive reduction of the alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone in ring A. Levonorgestrel also undergoes hydroxylation at carbons 2 and 16. The metabolites of both compounds circulate predominantly as sulfates. In urine, levonorgestrel metabolites are found primarily in the glucuronide form, whereas norethindrone metabolites are present in approximately equal amounts as sulfates and glucuronides. Of the progestogens structurally related to norethindrone, norethindrone acetate, ethynodiol diacetate, norethindrone enanthate, and perhaps lynestrenol, undergo rapid hydrolysis and are converted to the parent compound and its metabolites. There is no convincing evidence that norethynodrel is converted to norethindrone. Of the progestogens structurally related to levonorgestrel, it appears that neither desogestrel nor gestodene are transformed to the parent compound. However, there is evidence that norgestimate can be, at least partly, converted to levonorgestrel. ...

4.5 Mechanism of Action

Lynestrenol, a synthetic steroid progesterone-like substance, has been found to enhance the stimulation of normal human lymphocytes. It increases the phytohemagglutinin response and the mixed-lymphocyte cultures. This augmentation can, in some cases, be higher than 100% of the phytohemagglutinin or mixed lymphocyte reaction baseline. There is no significant effect on the pokeweed mitogen stimulation. It is concluded that lynestrenol can modulate, "in vitro", some T cell functions.

PMID:856311 Wybran J et al; Biomedicine 27 (1): 16-9 (1977)


In 10 women taking 0.5 mg lynestrenol for oral contraception endometrium biopsies were carried out in several consecutive cycles between the 21st and 25th day of each cycle. In addition pregnandiol excretion in the urine was measured in one of the last three treatment cycles always on the 10th and 21st day of cycle. During treatment of a characteristic, monomorphic microscopical endometrium picture was observed with hardly distinct endometrium glands and only slight decidualike transformation of cellular elements of the stroma. From these histological pictures it is concluded that oral application of 0,5 mg lynestrenol produces endometrium changes characterized by insufficient transformation so that nidation of a blastocyte becomes impossible.
