Asthenozoospermia is a leading cause of male infertility, but development of pharmacological agents to improve sperm motility is hindered by the lack of effective screening platforms and knowledge of suitable molecular targets. We have demonstrated that a high-throughput screening (HTS) strategy and established in vitro tests can identify and characterise compounds that improve sperm motility. Here, we applied HTS to identify new compounds from a novel small molecule library that increase intracellular calcium ([Ca2+ ]i ), promote human sperm cell motility, and systematically determine the mechanism of action.

Portal and searchable database of pharmacological information. Information is presented at two levels, the initial view or landing pages for each target family provide expert-curated overviews of the key properties and the available selective ligands and tool compounds. For selected targets, more detailed introductory chapters for each family are available along with curated information on the pharmacological, physiological, structural, genetic and pathophysiogical properties of each target.
