Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Dienogest is a orally-active semisynthetic, steroidal progestogen. Dienogest is also a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor. The IC50 of dienogest is 55 µM against 5 alpha-reductase.[1] In addition, dienogest is used as a selective progesterone receptor agonist. Dienogest activate progesterone receptor with an EC50 of 3.4 nM. Dienogest antagonizes androgen receptor with an EC50 of 421 nM.[2] Dienogest exhibits endometrial activity with an ED50 of 4.2 µg/kg.[2] Dienogest at the dose of 2 mg daily effectively alleviates the painful symptoms of endometriosis, reduces endometriotic lesions. [3] Dienogest (0.1-1 mg/kg per day, p.o.) decreases the endometrial implant volume Simultaneously, dienogest improves the endometrial implant-induced alterations of the immune system. Dienogest increases the natural killer activity of peritoneal fluid cells and splenic cells. Dienogest decreases the number of peritoneal fluid cells. Dienogest reduces interleukin-1beta generation by peritoneal macrophages.[4]
