Drug

D0869 | desogestrel

Molecular Formula C22H30O
Molecular Weight 310.5
Structure
State solid
Clearance The metabolic clearance rate of desogestrel is reported to be of about 2 ml/min/kg.[F4127]
Volume of distribution The apparent volume of distribution of desogestrel is of 1.5 L/kg.[F4127]
Route of elimination The elimination of desogestrel is found to be mainly renal corresponding to about 6 times the dose eliminated in the bile.[F4127] The elimination of desogestrel is only done as the metabolites and not as the unchanged drug and about 85% of the administered dose can be excreted as metabolites after 6-8 days.[T521]
Protein binding The main metabolite of desogestrel is mainly found bound to albumin and sex-hormone binding globulin. Around 96-98% of the administered dose of desogestrel is found bound to plasma proteins from which 40-70% is found bound to sex-hormone binding globulin.[F4127]
Half life The terminal half-life of desogestrel is determined to be of 30 hours.[F4127]
Absorption After oral administration, desogestrel is rapidly absorbed and it reaches a peak concentration of 2 ng/ml after 1.5 hours. The bioavailability of desogestrel is reported to be in the range of 60-80% and the reported AUC is of 3000 ng.h/ml.[F4127] Almost all the administered dose is modified to the active metabolite, [etonogestrel].[A176423]
