“…In addition to its contraceptive properties, gossypol has also long been known to possess anti-malarial properties. Other researchers are investigating the anti-cancer properties of gossypol (Shidaifat et al 1996;Coutinho 2002 Being a dimeric sesquiterpenoid in which the loss of hydrogen has led to an aromatic system, gossypol is biosynthesised by the mevalonic acid pathway via isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate, geranyl diphosphate, and (e,e)-farnesyl diphosphate. Farnesyl diphosphate eliminates diphosphate and is transformed to a macrocyclic intermediate, by a 1,3-hydride shift to a macrocyclic bicyclic intermediate, and further to cadinene cation and δ-cadinene, i.e.…”

“…), e que tem sido muito estudado desde a descoberta de sua atividade contraceptiva, no final dos anos 1960 46 . Mais recentemente, foi demonstrado que, além das propriedades contraceptivas, o gossipol 39 também exibe atividades antiviral e antiparasitária in vitro em concentrações da ordem de micromolar, além de pronunciada atividade antitumoral 47 .…”

“…The only concern at present appears to be lack of reversibility in a few subjects. It is therefore suggested that gossypol as a contraceptive agent used alone should be prescribed preferably to men who have completed their families or for those who would accept permanent infertility after a few years of use [5,76].…”
