6-Hydroxy Levonorgestrel

6-Hydroxy Levonorgestrel is a key oxidative metabolite of levonorgestrel, primarily used in pharmacokinetic and ADME studies to understand its metabolic fate in the body. It functions as a reference standard in analytical method development using techniques like HPLC and LC-MS/MS, particularly for impurity profiling and stability studies in levonorgestrel-containing drug products.
