Abstract
Acrosin and acrosomal hyaluronidase were inhibited by tetradecyl sodium sulphate (TDSS) in vitro at concentrations of less than 10(-4) M. TDSS prevented the removal in vitro of the cumulus oophorus by testicular hyaluronidase and the zona pellucida by acrosin. TDSS had a contraceptive effect in rabbits when administered intravaginally before coitus or released at levels of 1-3 micrograms/day from intrauterine silicone rubber devices.Entities:
