In vitjro spermicidal activity of gossypol. 1980

D P Waller, and L J Zaneveld, and H H Fong

The in vitro spermicidal effect of gossypol, gossypol acetic acid and gossypol-polyvinylpyrrol idone was investigated. Gossypol-polyvinylmulations. Thus, gossypol in an appropriate chemical form may be useful as a spermicide.
