A trifunctional contraceptive gel enhances the safety and quality of sexual intercourse

BIOACTIVE MATERIALS, 6(6), 1777–1788.

By: M. Xie n, J. Li n, S. Zhang n, D. Zhu n , X. Mei n, Z. Wang n, X. Cheng n, Z. Li n, S. Wang *, K. Cheng n

Contributors: M. Xie n, J. Li n, S. Zhang n, D. Zhu n , X. Mei n, Z. Wang n, X. Cheng n, Z. Li n, S. Wang *, K. Cheng n

author keywords: Contraceptive; Hydrogel; Anti-viral; Libido; Erectile function
topics (OpenAlex): Ovarian function and disorders; Reproductive Biology and Fertility; Sperm and Testicular Function
TL;DR: A novel TGN contraceptive gel consisting of three agents: tenofovir, gossypol acetate, and nitroglycerin (TGN) yielded a higher contraceptive success rate than that of the commercial contraceptive gel (Contragel®), and has the added benefits to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and improve male libido and erection function during sexual intercourse.
