Nomegestrol (INN), also known as 19-normegestrol, is a steroidal progestin which was patented in 1975 but was never marketed.[1][2] It is the parent compound of nomegestrol acetate, which is marketed as a progestin.[1][2]

Nomegestrol shows relatively low affinity for the progesterone receptor, only about 4% of that of progesterone and about 1.6% of that of nomegestrol acetate in one assay.[3]
