Disease relevance of Vanadocene

 

High impact information on Vanadocene

 

Biological context of Vanadocene

 

Anatomical context of Vanadocene

  • All seven chelate complexes of vanadocene elicited potent spermicidal activity at micromolar concentrations (EC50 values: 3.9-106 microM) without affecting the sperm acrosome integrity [9].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Vanadocene

  • Both the unsubstituted and the pentamethyl-substituted vanadocene induced rapid sperm immobilization (T(1/2) < 15 s) [10].
  • This study sought to determine the vaginal contraceptive activity of vanadocene dithiocarbamate (VDDTC), a stable vanadocene (IV)-chelated complex, using the standard rabbit model as well as the domestic pig as a physiologically relevant animal model for contraception [11].
