Scientists have discovered a chemical from a plant extract traditionally used by African warriors to poison their arrows. According to a new study, this chemical could be the future of the male birth control pill.
Men may have a few options for contraceptive methods, but none of them works the same way as women’s birth control pills, in which it would limit the reproductive cell. But a group of researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Kansas discovered that the chemical called ouabain could be a potential ingredient for a male contraceptive pill. The findings of the study can be found in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.
