Abstract
The present invention is directed to an active agent with contraceptive properties which corresponds to a peptide fragment of thevenom. The peptide generally includes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO 2 or sequences that are at least 85% similar, obtained by chemical synthesis or through recombinant DNA technologies. Furthermore, a pharmaceutical contraceptive composition comprising the peptide fragment and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles is also described. The peptide fragment and pharmaceutical compositions are useful as a contraceptive and spermicide agent.
