The effect of antiestrogens (MER-25 [ethamoxytriphetol], ICI-46474 [tamoxifen] and cis-clomiphene) and aromatase inhibitors (5-.alpha.-androstanedione, metopirone, and amino-glutethimide) on androgen induced copulatory behavior was tested in sexually inexperienced castrated male rats. Daily injections of 1 mg testosterone (T) for 21 days induced sexual activity in most subjects (61% mounting). Daily pretreatment with MER-25 or cis-clomiphene at 3 dose levels did not block the behavioral response to T. ICI-46474 at the high dose level (1 mg/kg) elicited a significant depressory effect on the sexual behavior of the T treated castrated rats. A single injection of 6 mg testosterone propionate (TP) induced mounting behavior in 56% of the tested rats within 120 h. Treatment with metopirone or 5 .alpha.-androstanedione (injections every 12 h for 96 h) did not inhibit the response to TP. By contrast, aminoglutethimide (5 or 15 mg every 12 h for 96 h) abolished the behavioral response to androgen.
