Dual purpose contraception

这项研究将产生一种全新的局部避孕剂，它在与精液接触时被激活，同时保护使用者免受意外生育和性传播疾病的侵害。一种原型化合物已经开发出来并获得专利。本研究的目的是对该试剂进行化学优化，分析其作用机制，并表征其对衣原体、淋病、单纯疱疹和HIV的抗微生物活性

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
