Description
Drospirenone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C24H30O3 and an average molecular weight of 366.49 g/mol. Drospirenone belongs to the steroid lactones, a subclass of steroids and steroid derivatives within the organic compounds. This substance is categorized under the superclass of lipids and lipid-like molecules. The compound is found in or released from five recorded sources. These include healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, specifically progestogens and estrogens in combination and hormonal contraceptives for systemic use. It is also associated with indoor air in the category of air, dust, and atmospheric transport, as well as antennas within electrical and electronic equipment. Additionally, it is found in non-electric simulated smoking devices among household cleaning and consumer products. Recorded routes of exposure include oral and inhalation. Drospirenone interacts with four recorded protein targets. It functions as an agonist, antagonist, or binder of the progesterone receptor (PGR), the mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2), the androgen receptor (AR), and the glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1).
