  <common_name>dl-Norgestrel</common_name>
  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>dl-Norgestrel is an organic compound with the formula C21H28O2 and an average molecular weight of 312.45 g/mol. dl-Norgestrel belongs to the estrane steroids, a subclass of steroids and steroid derivatives within the organic compounds. It is categorized under the superclass of lipids and lipid-like molecules.

This compound is found in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products, specifically within progestogens and estrogens in combination and hormonal contraceptives for systemic use. The recorded route of exposure for this substance is oral. dl-Norgestrel interacts with three protein targets, acting as an agonist or inhibitor of the progesterone receptor (PGR), the androgen receptor (AR), and 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase 1 (SRD5A1).</description>
