Contraception Toxic Effects of Quinacrine Hydrochloride in Rhesus Monkeys
نویسندگان
چکیده
The toxic effects of intraperitoneal, intrauterine and intravenous administration of quinacrine hydrochloride solution were evaluated in female adult rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta). A single intraperitoneal injection of 400 mg and above resulted in the development of toxic manifestations leading to death of monkeys. In trauterine instillation of 500 mg of quinacrine was well tolerated and did not produce any toxic effects. However, intravenous injection of 100 and 75 mg was lethal to the animals.

متن کامل15 Quinacrine Hydrochloride : Future Research
Without doubt, there is a need and a demand for a chemical method of tubal sterilization. Chemicals of various categories, including caustic, sclerosing, granuloma-producing, and cytotoxic agents and tissue adhesives have been tested in both animal models and humans.2 The most effective agent appears to be quinacrine, and, depending on the mode of delivery, it can cause bilateral tubal closure ...
متن کاملEfficacy of two insertions of 100-minute releasing quinacrine hydrochloride pellets for non-surgical female sterilization.
Extensive research has been undertaken to develop a simple method of non-surgical female sterilization. Zipper and associates identified quinacrine hydrochloride as a drug likely to produce tubal occlusion when placed into the uterus. Zipper's early work with a solution of quinacrine led to the development of quinacrine pellets, a delivery system that was designed to bring the quinacrine into p...
