(-)-Gossypol: an active male antifertility agent.

The enantiomers of gossypol have been resolved by preparative HPLC of diastereomeric Schiff's base derivatives on a chiral bonded phase. Whereas (+)-gossypol has previously been reported to be inactive, (-)-gossypol is now shown to be active as a male oral antifertility agent in hamsters.

Long-acting contraceptive agents: structure activity relationships in a series of norethisterone and levonorgestrel esters.

A large number of esters of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) and levonorgestrel (D-(-)-13 beta-ethyl-17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one) were synthesized and tested for biological activity. The test employed in these studies was the duration of estrus suppression in cycling mature rats. In the norethisterone series several esters exhibited duration of activity comparable to that of norethisterone enanthate. In the levonorgestrel series the butanoic, cyclobutylcarboxylic and cyclopropylcarboxylic esters were longer acting than medroxyprogesterone acetate (17 alpha-acetoxy-6 alpha-methylpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione) when prepared as aqueous microcrystalline suspensions.
