Effect of intravaginal instillation of some non-steroidal oral antifertility agents on pregnancy in rats.

Abstract:

:A study was conducted of the effect of intravaginal instillation of 3 nonsteroidal oran antifertility agents in pregnant rats. The 3 compounds used were 2-phenyl-3-rho-beta-pyrrolidinoethoxyphenyl-6-methox y benzofuran hydrochoride (DBF), 20 mg/kg; 2-phenyl-3-rho-beta-pyrrolidi noethoxyphenyl-naptha (2:1,b furan (NF), 10 mg/kg; and Centchroman, 1.25 mg/kg. These agents were administered on Day 1 postcoitum at the single-day oral contraceptive dose. Control animals were inserted with a pellet containing only carboxymethyl cellulose. Only Centchroman was 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Even at half the normal dose, Centchroman was effective. Of the 3 compounds, only Centchroman has an antiprogestational property which may be contributing to Centchroman's high antifertility activity by the vaginal route and may prevent side effects.
