Abstract
A method of controlling male fertility in warm-blooded animals comprising administering to male warm-blooded animals an amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are individually selected from the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms and benzyl, R.sub.3 is .alpha.- or .beta.- methyl, n is an integer from 2 to 10, either R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together are .dbd.O and R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are hydrogen, or R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 together are .dbd.O and R.sub.4 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen or R.sub.4 and R.sub.7 are .dbd.O and R.sub.6 and R.sub.5 are .dbd.O and their non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts in an amount sufficient to control male fertility.
