Abstract
Centchroman, a nonsteroidal antifertility agent was studied for its binding to monkey (Macaca mulatta) plasma proteins using charcoal adsorption and electrophoretic techniques. 14C-centchroman showed a low affinity binding and did not compete for 3H-cortisol or 3H-DHT binding sites in plasma. 14C-centchroman binding protein was heat stable in nature and showed the electrophoretic pattern similar to that of albumin (Rf 0.70). Thus centchroman binds to albumin in monkey plasma which can be suggested as carrier protein for this contraceptive agent.
