Abstract: A compound, namely 5-thio-D-glucose, and use thereof for a male contraceptive is disclosed herein. 5-Thio-D-glucose is administered periodically to inhibit development of sperm cells (spermatozoa). Sperm cells are arrested at the immature sperm cell level by administration of 5-thio-D-glucose, and this arrestment of cell development is maintained so long as administration of 5-thio-D-glucose is continued. After discontinuance of administration of 5-thio-D-glucose, however, the sperm cells again develop and normal sperm cell production is resumed.
