Gamendazole is a novel drug candidate for male contraception. It is an indazole carboxylic acid derived from lonidamine (LND). It has been shown to reduce fertility in male rats without affecting testosterone levels, but human clinical trials have not been started. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Gamendazole is a member of the class of indazoles that is 3-(indazol-3-yl}prop-2-enoic acid carrying additional 2,4-dichlorobenzyl and trifluoromethyl substituents at positions 1 and 6 respectively. An orally active antispermatogenic compound with antifertility effects that is a potential male contraceptive drug. It has a role as a Hsp90 inhibitor, a eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1alpha 1 inhibitor, a synthetic oral contraceptive and an antispermatogenic agent. It is a member of indazoles, an alpha,beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, an olefinic compound, a dichlorobenzene and an organofluorine compound. It is functionally related to a lonidamine. |
