Dual purpose contraception

这项研究将产生一种全新的局部避孕剂，这种避孕剂在接触精液时会被激活，同时将保护使用者免受不想要的生育和性传播疾病的影响。一种原型化合物已经开发出来并获得了专利。本研究旨在对该试剂进行化学优化，分析其作用机理，并对其抗衣原体、淋病、单纯疱疹病毒和HIV的活性进行表征。

This research will generate a completely novel topical contraceptive agent that becomes activated on contact with semen and will simultaneously protect the user against both unwanted fertility and sexually transmitted disease. A prototype compound has already been developed and patented. This research is aimed at the chemical optimization of this reagent, analysis of its mechanism-of-action and characterization of its anti-microbial activity against chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes simplex and HIV
