Ovarian activity, and total gonadotrophin and gonadotrophin releasing hormone levels in response to some synthetic non-steroidal ovulating agents in the catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch).

Effects of clomiphene citrate, cyclofenil and prostaglandins (PGE1 and PGF2 alpha) on ovarian 32P uptake, on gonadotrophin levels in the pituitary gland and blood serum and on a gonadotrophin releasing hormone-like (GnRH-like) substance in the hypothalamus were investigated in Heteropneustes fossilis. These drugs were very effective in increasing the serum level of gonadotrophin with a subsequent increase in ovarian 32P uptake in sham-hypophysectomized recipients. All the drugs except cyclofenil failed to stimulate 32P incorporation by the ovary in hypophysectomized fish. Clomiphene citrate and cyclofenil also induced a significant increase in the GnRH-like factor in the hypothalamus of H. fossilis. Such a response was not obtained in fish treated with PGE1 and PGF2 alpha. It seems likely that the action of clomiphene is routed through the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis and that of prostaglandins directly through the pituitary-ovarian axis. The action of cyclofenil is bimodal; one effect like that of clomiphene and the other direct upon the ovary probably by increasing its sensitivity to the available gonadotrophin.

Design and synthesis of functionalized cyclopentadienyl tricarbonylmetal complexes for technetium-94m PET imaging of estrogen receptors.

Cyclopentadienyl tricarbonylmetal (CpTM, M = Re, (94m)Tc) complexes, some based on a typical nonsteroidal estrogen, were prepared with the aim of developing technetium- and rhenium-labeled imaging agents for estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast tumors. CpT[(94m)Tc] compounds with simple cyclopentadienyl substituents were first synthesized using a modified double ligand transfer reaction. The in vivo biodistribution of one of these CpT[(94m)Tc] complexes was determined by tissue dissection and microPET imaging. Novel C-ring substituted analogues of cyclofenil, a nonsteroidal compound known to bind the ER, were also prepared, and their ER binding was measured. Because of their low ER affinity, however, labeling and imaging studies of these compounds were not pursued. It is notable that the highest ER binding analogue, a CpTRe cyclofenil derivative, could be synthesized from the corresponding ferrocenyl cyclofenil analogue by the double ligand transfer reaction. This further demonstrates the versatility of the double ligand transfer reaction and indicates that the synthesis of technetium and rhenium radiolabeled agents for breast tumor imaging and therapy is also likely to be successful.

The effect of three anti-oestrogen drugs on cervical mucus quality and in-vitro sperm-cervical mucus interaction in ovulatory women.

The anti-oestrogens, clomiphene citrate, tamoxifen and cyclofenil are commonly used in the treatment of female infertility. Their role in the management of anovulation is well established but there is continuing controversy about their relevance to other areas of management. We have studied the effects of each of these drugs on cervical mucus and sperm-cervical mucus interaction among 23 patients with unexplained infertility. Each patient received all three drugs in an alternative month treatment regime and in addition acted as her own control. The starting point in each patient was randomized. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and oestradiol were measured daily from day 10, and follicle scanning was also undertaken. Cervical mucus quality and sperm-cervical mucus interaction were studied on the day of onset of the LH surge. The use of clomiphene and tamoxifen resulted in a significant reduction in cervical mucus score and sperm-cervical mucus interaction as judged by the distance travelled by the vanguard spermatozoa. Cyclofenil had no effect on these parameters.
