A promising non-hormonal, reversible male contraceptive pill called YCT-529 has shown safety and tolerability in early human trials, blocking sperm production without significant side effects, and could offer an alternative to hormonal options like condoms and vasectomies.
A non-hormonal male birth control pill called YCT-529 has passed initial safety tests in humans, showing promise as a reversible and side-effect-free contraceptive option, with larger studies underway.
A new non-hormonal male contraceptive, CDD-2807, has shown promising results in mice, effectively reducing sperm activity and being reversible without significant side effects. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are optimistic about its potential and plan to test it in non-human primates.
Researchers at Washington State University have identified a gene, Arrdc5, that is expressed only in testicular tissue and is found in multiple mammalian species, including humans. Knocking out the gene in male mice created infertility by impacting their sperm count, movement, and shape. The protein encoded by this gene is required for normal sperm production, and the team will work on designing a drug that would inhibit its production or function, making it easily reversible as a contraceptive. The discovery could pave the way for a highly effective, reversible, and non-hormonal male contraceptive for humans and animals.
