Dienogest
A progestin synthesised in 1979 in Jena, then in East Germany, by the team of chemist Kurt Ponsold: used since 1995 in the contraceptive pill, today it is also used on its own for endometriosis. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Instead of the ethynyl group typical of progestins derived from 19-nortestosterone it carries a cyanomethyl group: this detail gives it an antiandrogenic rather than androgenic action.
