Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Tricyclic antidepressants appeared to be without effect, except for desipramine which significantly decreased whiplash motility after spermatozoa were added to eggs, and clomipramine which decreased motility and whiplash motility in epididymal sperm suspensions after pretreatment of males. Mianserin and viloxazine were also without effect, but nomifensine significantly decreased sperm motility and whiplash motility and inhibited egg penetration almost completely. After 3 h preincubation with 0.75 mmol nomifensine hydrogen maleate/l, 2/181 and 0/256 eggs were penetrated in two separate series of experiments. Control groups in these series gave medians of 90-100% penetration by 4.5-5.5 h after spermatozoa and eggs were mixed. Maleic acid had a similar effect (1/253 eggs penetrated) whilst nomifensine hydrochloride was inactive, suggesting that the effect was due to the maleate moiety of the original nomifensine hydrogen maleate salt used.
