Generative Function of Female Rats Upon Intragastric Administration of Tablets of the New Steroid Drug Gestobutanoil

  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

The generative function of female rats upon intragastric administration of tablets of gestobutanoil at doses of 0.25 and 2.5 mg/kg (calculated doses corresponding to the therapeutic dose and ten times higher) was studied. Gestobutanoil was administered two weeks before pregnancy, which corresponded to 2 – 3 estrous cycles. Gestobutanoil at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg exhibited progestogen activity. The duration of estrus, the fertility index, and the numbers of pregnancy corpus lutea and live fetuses increased in female rats. Administration of gestobutanoil at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg produced a contraceptive effect that manifested as a prolonged estrous cycle and a reduction of fertility and numbers of corpus lutea and fetuses. Gestobutanoil at both doses did not produce a teratogenic effect and did not affect the vitality of F1 offspring (survival, body-weight dynamics, sensory-motor behavior development).
