AIMS: Our objective was to study in vivo the role of CYP2C and CYP3A4 in the disposition of 3-keto-desogestrel after administration of desogestrel, by using the selective inhibitors fluconazole (CYP2C) and itraconazole (CYP3A4). METHODS: This study had a three-way crossover design and included 12 healthy females, the data from 11 of whom were analyzed. In the first (control) phase all subjects received a single 150 microg oral dose of desogestrel alone. In the second and third phases subjects received a 4 day pretreatment with either 200 mg fluconazole or 200 mg itraconazole once daily in a randomized balanced order. Desogestrel was given 1 h after the last dose of the CYP inhibitor. Plasma 3-keto-desogestrel concentrations were determined for up to 72 h post dose. RESULTS: Pretreatment with itraconazole for 4 days significantly increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of 3-keto-desogestrel by 72.4% (95% confidence interval on the difference 12%, 133%; P = 0.024) compared with the control phase, whereas fluconazole pretreatment had no significant effect (95% CI on the difference -42%, 34%). Neither enzyme inhibitor affected significantly the maximum concentration (95% CI on the difference 14%, 124% for itraconazole and -23%, 40% for fluconazole) or elimination half-life (95% CI on the difference -42%, 120% for itraconazole and -24%, 61% for fluconazole) of 3-keto-desogestrel. CONCLUSIONS: According to the present study, the biotransformation of desogestrel to 3-keto-desogestrel did not appear to be mediated by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 as suggested earlier. However, the further metabolism of 3-keto-desogestrel seems to be catalyzed by CYP3A4.
