Abstract

SummaryA very substantial increase of oral gonadotropin inhibiting (34 X), pregnancy inhibiting (10 X) and uterotropic (24 X) potencies was observed for 7α-meth-y1-17 α-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone (U-13851) compared to 17-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone (norethindrone) even though progestational potency was not enhanced. Although anabolic and androgenic properties are greatly increased in some 7α-methyl derivatives of testosterone and 19-nortestosterone, U-13851 did not appear to produce a typical androgenic response in laboratory tests.The authors wish to express their appreciation to J. I. Northam for statistical analysis of data and to J. C. Cornette and A. D. Forbes for technical assistance.
