The propulsion mechanism that allows sperm to quickly wiggle their way up the female reproductive tract to a waiting egg requires a cellular signaling protein called soluble adenyl cyclase or sAC. Collaborators at New York’s Weill-Cornell, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and The Rockefeller University have developed a sAC inhibitor labeled TDI-11861. In mouse experiments, this agent begins freezing sperm in their tracks within 30 minutes and continues effective for more than 21/2 hours. Work is underway to find similar human sAC inhibitors, perhaps longer-acting, for men to use…..SOMEDAY SOON.
