Drospirenone is a synthetic progestogen that binds to the progesterone, mineralocorticoid, and androgen receptors with binding affinities of 20, 230, and 65% relative to R5020, aldosterone (Item No. 15273), and R1881, respectively.{41140} In vivo, drospirenone inhibits spontaneous ovulation in rats (ID50s = 0.3-1.0 mg/day) when administered orally or subcutaneously.{41141} Drospirenone (0.5 mg/animal) administered six times per day maintains pregnancy in ovariectomized pregnant rats. It reduces serum testosterone (Item Nos. 15645 | ISO60154) and luteinizing hormone in cynomolgus monkeys in a dose-dependent manner. Drospirenone (10 mg/animal per day) also inhibits testosterone-induced growth of the seminal vesicles and prostate in castrated rats. Formulations containing drospirenone have been used as oral contraceptives.{41142}
