Etoprine
Etoprine is a potent orally active dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor. Etoprine competitively inhibits testicular DHFR to disrupt tetrahydrofolate and DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells. Etoprine acts as an antifertility agent in male mice and reduces fecundity in male rats.

Animal Model:Male mice (65 days old)[1]
-
Dosage:0.1; 0.5; 1; 5; 10; 25; 50 mg/kg

Animal Model:Rats (65 days old)[1]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; daily; 65 days
-
Result:Reduced percentage of pregnant female rats significantly, while all treated male rats remained fertile.
Reduced embryo number, size, and embryo score significantly.
Reduced testis weight, epididymis weigh, testis weight per 100g body weight, and epididymis weight per 100g body weight significantly.
Reduced epididymal sperm reserves significantly, with an estimated ED50 of 2.9 mg/kg/day for 50% reduction of sperm reserves.
