Abstract

Twenty-nine C-27 steroidal saponins were tested for the inhibitory effects on human spermatozoa in vitro by means of a modified Sander-Cramer method. Twelve of them are responsible for this activity. The structure-activity relationship is discussed.

Key words

Steroidal saponins - inhibitory effects - human spermatozoa
