Norethisterone Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Norethisterone, also known as norethindrone, is a synthetic progestational hormone used for contraception, prevention of endometrial hyperplasia (hormone replacement therapy), and in the treatment of other hormone-related illnesses. This drug has the same action as endogenous progesterone but with greater potency. This drug acts by altering the cervical and endometrial function, as well as it inhibits the pituitary hormones, like the Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and the Luteinizing hormone (LH) via binding to progesterone receptors that inhibits the Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) production in the hypothalamus. The low levels of LH and FSH result in the inhibition of the production of estrogen in the ovaries, thus inhibiting follicular maturation, ovulation, and corpus luteum development. Norethisterone has a low affinity for other steroid receptors, such as the androgen receptor and glucocorticoid receptor. Even if these affinities are low, it is thought that androgen receptor agonism is responsible for some of the adverse effects observed, like acne and serum lipid changes. This drug is administered as an oral tablet.

Norfloxacin Action PathwayHaemophilus influenzae
Norfloxacin is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic with variable activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Typically reserved for the treatment of UTIs due to accumulation in the urine.
Norfloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV. These proteins prevent supercoiling in bacterial DNA. The inhibition of DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV causes supercoiling of the bacterial DNA. This prevents DNA replication.

drug action
Norgestrel Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Norgestrel is a synthetic progestin that has 2 stereoisomers, the active one is called levonorgestrel and the other one is dextronorgestrel. This drug is used in combination with ethinyl estradiol for oral contraception and prevention of pregnancy in women. Levonorgestrel (the active stereoisomer of norgestrel) binds the progesterone and estrogen receptors. Those receptors are found in the mammary glands, the hypothalamus, and in the pituitary gland. With this binding, levonorgestrel inhibits and downgrades the level of secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. In consequence, this activity will lower the transcription rate of luteinizing hormone (LH) resulting in the inhibition of its normal surge needed for ovulation. This drug is administered as an oral tablet.
