Sterol derivative compounds, structurally related to natural compounds which can be extracted from bull testes and from human follicular fluid, useful for regulating meiosis in oocytes and in male germ cells. Some of these compounds are useful in the treatment of infertility, whereas other compounds are useful as contraceptives.
Compounds of Formula I and methods of regulating the meiosis in a mammalian germ cell which method comprises administering an effective amount of the compound of Formula I to a germ cell in need of such a treatment.
Two receptors of meiosis activating sterols designated SAM1a and SAM1b have been identified.
