Abstract
WHI-05 (5-bromo-6-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-3'-azidothymidine-5'-(p-methoxyphenyl) methoxyalaninyl phosphate, CAS 213982-93-5) is a highly promising anti-viral and spermicidal agent with clinical potential as a vaginal contraceptive which can prevent the sexual transmission of AIDS. In this study, the contraceptive activity of WHI-05 in rabbits was evaluated. Exposure of semen to WHI-05 at the time of artificial insemination inhibited pregnancy and embryo implantation by 90%. Intravaginal application of 2% WHI-05 containing gel also inhibited the pregnancy rate by 90%. WHI-05 had no side effects for the offspring of rabbits who became pregnant despite WHI-05.
