(-)-Gossypol: an active male antifertility agent. 1985

S A Matlin, and R Zhou, and G Bialy, and R P Blye, and R H Naqvi, and M C Lindberg

The enantiomers of gossypol have been resolved by preparative HPLC of diastereomeric Schiff's base derivatives on a chiral bonded phase. Whereas (+)-gossypol has previously been reported to be inactive, (-)-gossypol is now shown to be active as a male oral antifertility agent in hamsters.
