Anordrin (former developmental code name AF-53), also known as 2α,17α-diethynyl-A-nor-5α-androstane-2β,17β-diol dipropionate, is a synthetic, steroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) which is used in China as an emergency contraceptive.[2][3][4][5][6][7] It is the most commonly used emergency contraceptive in China.[7] The drug is marketed in a combination formulation with mifepristone under the brand name Zi Yun.[8][9][10] Anordrin has not been studied for use or marketed outside of China.[11] It has been used in China since the 1970s.[12][1]
Anordrin has both weak estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity.[2][13][14][15] It binds to the estrogen receptor but does not bind to the androgen receptor or the progesterone receptor.[14][16] In animals, anordrin has antigonadotropic effects, and in male animals, inhibits spermatogenesis and causes atrophy of the epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicles.[2] It produces a dihydroxylated active metabolite, anordiol, with similar but more potent estrogenic activity.[2][17] The abortifacient effects of anordrin in animals are blocked by supplemental estradiol, suggesting that it is acting as an antiestrogen rather than an estrogen to exert its emergency contraceptive effects.[18]
