Abstract: The present invention relates to non-hormonal compositions and methods for inducing a condition of aspermia, azoospermia, or severe oligozoospermia in the male subject such that these compositions and methods for administering the same may be used as male contraception. Embodiments of the present invention may comprise a composition comprising an alpha-1-adrenoreceptor antagonist, such as (R)-silodosin, for daily administration to a male subject. The compositions and related methods may further include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The present invention further includes formulations which allow for a delay such that delayed or missed dose(s) do not nullify the contraceptive effect of the treatment regimen. Such compositions and methods may also avoid the side effects associated with typical formulations of alpha-1-adrenoreceptor antagonists.

Abstract: A dietary supplement composition provided synergistic effects of xanthorrhizol and tocotrienol on malignancies. A blend of xanthorrhizol and delta tocotrienol achieved 69% growth suppression of melanoma, exceeding the sum of individual effects. In prostate cancer, 90% growth suppression was achieved by a blend of xanthorrhizol and delta tocotrienol; however, the same 90% of growth suppression was achieved by 3-fold xanthorrhizol and 1.8-fold delta tocotrienol respectively, which indicated synergistic impact of the two agents. Mechanisms of action for the anticancer property showed synergism of xanthorrhizol and tocotrienol-mediated cancer growth suppression was attributed to cell cycle arrest, at the G1 phase of cell cycle, and apoptosis. This novel dietary supplement combination of xanthorrhizol to tocotrienol (1:1 to 10:1) may provide benefits to individuals consuming it on a regular or periodic basis.
