🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionAbsorbed rapidly after intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.
DistributionDistributes primarily in the extracellular fluid; not extensively bound to plasma proteins.
Protein BindingNot established from the available information.
MetabolismMetabolized in the body, likely by proteolytic degradation similar to other glycoproteins.
Half-LifeApproximately 24-36 hours.
ExcretionExcreted primarily in urine as metabolites.
BioavailabilityHigh after intramuscular or subcutaneous administration.
Onset of ActionOvulation occurs approximately 24-48 hours after injection.
Peak Plasma TimeApproximately 6-12 hours after injection.
Duration of ActionUp to 10 days for luteal support.

How It Works

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) binds to and activates the luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG) receptor, which is a G-protein coupled receptor found on the surface of ovarian granulosa cells, testicular Leydig cells, and other tissues. This binding stimulates the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and activates protein kinase A, leading to increased steroidogenesis. In women, it mimics the mid-cycle LH surge, triggering final oocyte maturation and follicular rupture. In men, it stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone and supports spermatogenesis.

Mechanism Steps

1
Binding to LH/CG receptor: hCG binds to the LH/CG receptor on target cells in the ovaries and testes.
2
Activation of G-protein: The receptor undergoes a conformational change and activates a stimulatory G-protein (Gs).
3
Increase in cAMP: Activated Gs stimulates adenylyl cyclase, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP levels.
4
Activation of protein kinase A: cAMP activates protein kinase A, which phosphorylates various target proteins.
5
Steroidogenesis and ovulation: In the ovaries, this leads to final oocyte maturation and ovulation; in the testes, it stimulates testosterone production.
