Lynestrenol phenylpropionate (LPP) is a progestin and a progestogen ester which was developed for potential use as a progestogen-only injectable contraceptive by Organon but was never marketed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It was assessed at doses of 25 to 75 mg in an oil solution once a month by intramuscular injection.[1][4][4] LPP was associated with high contraceptive failure at the low dose and with poor cycle control.[3] The medication was found to produce estrogenic effects in the endometrium in women due to transformation into estrogenic metabolites.[4]

LPP has a long biological half-life in rats when given as an intramuscular depot injection; its half-life was similar to that of nandrolone laurate (nandrolone dodecanoate) and was about 2-fold longer than that of nandrolone decanoate, 10-fold longer than that of lynestrenol and nandrolone phenylpropionate, 50-fold longer than that of progesterone, and 430-fold longer than that of nandrolone.[5][6]

Studies were made with nandrolone phenpropionate (Durabolin), nandrolone decanoate, and 16α-ethylprogesterone in peanut oil injected into the gastrocnemius muscle of rats. The free steroid was much more rapidly resorbed than the esters, explaining the action-prolonging effects obtained with the latter. Generally, resorption rates correlated well with duration of action. Resorption from the muscle was followed by transport to the receptor site in the body, during which time ester hydrolysis may occur, releasing the free steroid. Resorption and hydrolysis take place independently, since plasma with inactivated enzymes (heated to 55°) eluted the compds. from a filter paper strip as rapidly as did normal plasma.
