Etynodiol, or ethynodiol, is a steroidal progestin of the 19-nortestosterone group which was never marketed.^[1]^[2]^[3] A diacylated derivative, etynodiol diacetate, is used as a hormonal contraceptive.^[1]^[2] Etynodiol is sometimes used as a synonym for etynodiol diacetate.

It was patented in 1955.^[4]

Pharmacology[]

Etynodiol is a prodrug of norethisterone, and is converted immediately and completely into norethisterone.^[5]^[6]^[7] Etynodiol is an intermediate in the conversion of the prodrug lynestrenol into norethisterone.^[8]

Chemistry[]

Etynodiol is a 19-nortestosterone derivative. Structurally, it is almost identical to norethisterone and lynestrenol, differing only in its C3 substituent. Whereas norethisterone has a ketone at C3 and lynestrenol has no substituent at C3, etynodiol has a hydroxyl group at the position.

Synthesis[]

Ethynodiol diacetate synthesis:^[9] F. B. Colton, U.S. Patent 2,843,609 (1958 to Searle). Prepn of the 3-acetate, 17-acetate, and diacetate: P. D. Klimstra, U.S. Patent 3,176,013 (1965 to Searle); see also:^[10]
