Targeting the retinoid signaling pathway with YCT-529 for effective and reversible oral contraception in mice and primates
13 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
The retinoic acid receptor alpha (Rarα) has been validated as a male contraceptive target by genetic knockouts resulting in male sterility. The effects on spermatogenesis in the absence of RARα resemble the loss of RAR signaling in vitamin A deficiency, and the mice are otherwise normal. The effects on spermatogenesis in animals treated orally with the dual RARα/RARγ antagonist BMS-189453 closely phenocopies the...
