Abstract: Disclosed herein are monomeric and oligomeric compound embodiments for use as contraceptive agents. Monomeric compound embodiments disclosed herein comprise substituents that facilitate the ability of the compounds to exhibit progestogenic, androgenic, and estrogenic activity, which can prevent or inhibit bone density loss in subjects. Oligomeric compound embodiments disclosed herein provide the ability to control receptor activation and/or treatment by incorporating a tunable linker group which couples steroidal-based compounds to one another or with therapeutic agents and facilitates selective cleavage of the monomeric components of the oligomeric compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the purification of the human chorionic gonadotropin .beta.-core molecule which can then be used as the antigen in the preparation of antibodies to the .beta.-core molecule. The combination of the purified .beta.-core molecule and the antibodies can be used in an immunoassay kit to measure .beta.-core molecules in the presence of structurally similar molecules, i.e., hCG, LH, hCG.beta.-subunit and LH.beta.-subunit. Measurement of the .beta.-core molecule is particularly useful in testing for pregnancy and many malignancies.
