A serum progesterone concentration of < 10 ng/ml. An ultrasound scan showing either poor endometrium or corpus luteum. …contd.

Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin l l HCG stimulates cells of the corpus luteum to produce Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin l l HCG stimulates cells of the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. In the normal corpus luteum, the luteal cells are adequate in number and have adequate capacity to produce progesterone. However, malfunctioning corpus luteum has less number of luteal cells. Also, the capacity of each luteal cell to produce progesterone in response to HCG is compromised ( decreased ) in luteal phase defect. Therefore progesterone production via stimulation of malfunctioning corpus luteum by HCG will be less. ( ref. Momoeda et al, Human Reproduction, 1998, July; 13 (7), 1907 -11 ) …contd.

l Stimulatory effect of exogenous HCG on progesterone production is minimal on malfunctioning corpus l Stimulatory effect of exogenous HCG on progesterone production is minimal on malfunctioning corpus luteum. This suggests that LPD does not benefit from HCG administration. ( ref. Momoeda et al, Human Reproduction, 1998, July; 13 (7), 1907 -11 ) …contd.

l Among the characteristics of LPD in women is the inability of the corpus l Among the characteristics of LPD in women is the inability of the corpus luteum to respond appropriately to LH/HCG. This defect may be caused by inappropriate formation of new LH/HCG receptors. ( Felig P, Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1995, third edition, 994 ) l HCG will not correct the luteal phase defect in patients with inadequate ovarian LH/HCG receptors. ( Mishell’s Text Book of Infertility, Contraception and Reproductive Endocrinology, 1997, Fourth edition, 739 -40 ) l There is a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome ( OHSS )associated with h. CG use. …contd.

Micronised progesterone…NATURAL? l The term natural progesterone ( as used to describe micronised progesterone Micronised progesterone…NATURAL? l The term natural progesterone ( as used to describe micronised progesterone ) is misleading. Diosgenin ( plant source - Dioscorea villosa ) Synthetic Steps Micronised Progesterone Dydrogesterone Either both are natural or both are synthetic. ( Ref: : Peterson C M, Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995, 38 ( 4 ) : 819; http: //www. skinbiology. com/menopause&aging. html; data on file )

DIOSGENIN the same natural source of dydrogesterone and micronised progesterone What is the difference DIOSGENIN the same natural source of dydrogesterone and micronised progesterone What is the difference between dydrogesterone and micronised progesterone?

The difference is in the structure. CH 3 COCH 3 H O O progesterone The difference is in the structure. CH 3 COCH 3 H O O progesterone l COCH 3 H O dydrogesterone This structural difference brings about the difference in the metabolism. (ref. Amsterdam P H et al, European J of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 1980, 5 (3): 173 -184 )

Dydrogesterone’s different metabolism. . . l l l The metabolites of dydrogesterone retain 4, Dydrogesterone’s different metabolism. . . l l l The metabolites of dydrogesterone retain 4, 6 - diene-3 one structure. The major metabolite of dydrogesterone retains progestational activity. Hence, it is orally effective. Dydrogesterone has very good oral bioavailability. It brings about 100% conversion to secretory endometrium ( Identical endometrial histological appearance as seen in natural cycles ). (ref. Amsterdam P H et al, European J of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 1980, 5 (3): 173 -184; Malik S, Nagpal S, Obs & Gynae Today, August 2000, V ( 8 ) : 497 -501 )

Oral micronised progesterone’s different metabolism l The metabolites of progesterone do not retain 4 Oral micronised progesterone’s different metabolism l The metabolites of progesterone do not retain 4 - ene - 3 one structure. Hence, it is not orally effective. l 95% of micronised progesterone administered orally was converted to inactive metabolites due to first pass effect. l Incomplete secretory conversion of endometrium has been reported with oral micronised progesterone. (ref. Amsterdam P H et al, European J of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 1980, 5 (3): 173 -184 ; Levine H L, Watson N A, Abstract presented at the 8 th International Congress on the menopause, Sydney, Australia, November 3 -7, 1996; )

Safety. . . Dydrogesterone vs micronised progesterone l Unlike oral micronised progesterone, dydrogesterone does Safety. . . Dydrogesterone vs micronised progesterone l Unlike oral micronised progesterone, dydrogesterone does not cause hepatotoxicity, natriuresis. l Unlike progesterone, dydrogesterone does not cause impairment of carbohydrate metabolism. ( Ref. - AICOG News, December 2000, ; Martin A J, Supplement to Modern Medicine, December , 1986, 31(12) ).

Dydrogesterone vs vaginal micronised progesterone l Vaginal administration of progesterone is complicated by a Dydrogesterone vs vaginal micronised progesterone l Vaginal administration of progesterone is complicated by a marked variability within and among patients. l Side effects include vaginal irritation, discharge, monilial vaginitis. l Dydrogesterone being administered by oral route, the above limitations, side effects are not observed. l Vaginal micronised progesterone is found to deter embryo implantation and decrease pregnancy rates. Dydrogesterone maintains implantation site and achieves good pregnancy rates. ( Maxson W S , Clin Exp Obst & Gyn, June 1987, 30(2): 470, Wang H S, Soong Y K, Gynecol Endocrinol, 1996, 10(5): 349 -355 )

Efficacy of Dydrogesterone comparable with parenteral progesterone l The implantation rate and pregnancy rate Efficacy of Dydrogesterone comparable with parenteral progesterone l The implantation rate and pregnancy rate with dydrogesterone was similar to intramuscular progesterone injection in IVF programme. l Pregnancy rate in oocyte donation programme using dydrogesterone is comparable to that reported with natural products. l The activity of dydrogesterone is comparable to that of parenterally administered progesterone. { ref. : Jan Domitrz et al Ginekol Pol 1999 Jan 70 (1) : 8 -12; Abu Musa, Clin Exp Obst & Gyn, 1998, XXV (3 ) : 84; Gelfand M M et al, Menopause: The J of North American Menopause Society, 1997, 4(1): 11 ;

Conclusion l Based on the results of various studies and looking at the various Conclusion l Based on the results of various studies and looking at the various pharmacological advantages duphaston offers as compared to other drug therapies, it is concluded that therapy with duphaston is very effective in treatment of LPD without any side effects.
