1 THE INTERACTION BETWEEN METALS AND CHELATING AGENTS IN MAMMALIAN SPERMATOZOA BY I. G. WHITE Department of Veterinary Physiology, University of Sydney, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia (Received February 6) Several studies have been made on the bacteriostatic and fungicidal properties of oxine (-hydroxyquinoline) and her chelating agents, and it has been suggested that they might act, in part at least, by depriving cells of essential trace (Albert, ; Martell & Calvin, 2). In an attempt to determine the trace element requirements of mammalian spermatozoa, White () investigated the effect of several chelating agents on mility. A number were found to be toxic to ram, bull, rabbit and human spermatozoa. In fact some (e.g. sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate, i-nitroso-2- naphthol and ethyl passium xanthate) were much more spermicidal than oxine, which has long been used as a chemical contraceptive in the form of Chinasol. Tests with bull semen showed that cobalt reduced the toxicity of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, nitrosonaphthol and o-phenanthroline. Other mixtures of heavy and chelating agents were, however, more toxic than the chelating agents alone. Further studies on the interaction between and chelating agents in bull, ram, rabbit and human spermatozoa are presented in this paper. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semen and s The method of collecting semen was the same as described previously (White, ). An isonic of ph - was used in all experiments and had the following composition: -2 M-NaHaPO^HjO, M-Na 2 HP.i2H 2, -6 M-NaCl, - M-KC,O-O M-fructose or glucose. Glucose was only used in the experiments with purified s (Tables and ). The referred to in Table are copper, cobalt, manganese, iron and zinc, which were all added as the A.R. salts. The first three were used at a final ionic concentration of - mg./ioo ml. and the last two at a concentration of -2 mg./ioo ml. The chelating agents were B.D.H. Laboratory reagents. Mility scoring The semen was diluted in in small tubes for mility observations which were made at C. Mility was scored at hourly intervals over a hr. period by the system of Emmens (). Full mility was rated as and complete immility
2 Interaction between and chelating agents 2 as zero. Quarter grades were frequently used, and in order to eliminate fractions, the tal hr. score for each ejaculate has in all cases been multiplied by. The highest possible score, based on five observations, is. Statistical analysis Where responses have been virtually of the all or none type, statistical analysis has n been undertaken. In her cases, experiments have been evaluated by a Mest or by the analysis of variance (Fisher, ), with isolation of sums of squares attributable to differences between ejaculates and treatments. The tal figure for the period has been used as unit observation and the treatment-ejaculate interaction mean square as the error term. Purification of s Diluents were purified by the absorption method recommended by Donald, Passey & Swaby (2). Five g. AljOj (British Drug Houses Ltd. chromatographic absorption analysis material) was added to ml. of in a conical flask and heated with frequent swirling for hr. Theflaskwas then left to cool in a refrigerator over night and filtered through an acid-treated, sintered glass filter connected by glass joints to a Pyrex filter flask. Test of purity of s The following test for heavy is based on the method of Stout & Arnon (). Ten millilitres of glass-distilled water, ml. of redistilled chloroform, drops of o-i% dithiozone in redistilled chloroform and drops of ammonia (redistilled, approximately 6 N) were shaken in a small Pyrex separating funnel. The chloroform layer was run off and ml. more added and shaken. The chloroform (which was found to separate much more rapidly in cold weather on exposure to an infra-red lamp) was now colourless or a slight blue. Ten millilitres of the test solution were then added to the funnel which was shaken and the colour of the chloroform layer ned. The funnel was rinsed with - N-HC between determinations to remove traces of metal adhering to the wall (see Piper, ). Standard zinc sulphate solutions made up with glass-distilled water gave the following colours: i-oo^ig. Zn/ml., intense red; o-io^g. Zn/ml., purple pink; o-oi ^g. Zn/ml., no colour or light blue. Using this method the following approximate estimates of heavy metal content were obtained: tap water, i-oo/ig./ml.; s in either glass-distilled or ordinary distilled water, o-io/xg./ml.; ordinary distilled water, o-o2fig./ml.; glass-distilled water, purified ordinary distilled water, purified s, o-oi/xg./ml. RESULTS Previous tests (White, ) showed that cobalt, copper, zinc and cadmium could influence the toxicity of some chelating agents to bull spermatozoa. This observation has been checked for the semen of this species and extended to her spermatozoa. The result of a comparative study on bull, ram, rabbit and human semen is set out
3 2 I. G. WHITE in Table i. The chelating agents used were nitrosonaphthol, o-phenanthroline, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, cupferron (iv-nitrosophenylhydroxylamine), ethyl passium xanthate and hydroxyquinoune, all at o-i mm., with at 2 ISM. concentration. All chelating agents have been previously shown to be toxic to mammalian spermatozoa (White, ). An overall analysis of variance has n been undertaken since the variances of the groups in Table were obviously heterogeneous. This is due to the extremely spermicidal nature of some of the metalchelate mixtures, in which the effects of the are so clear cut anyway as to make statistical analysis unnecessary. The significance of conclusions concerning the reverse effect of cobalt have, however, been checked by comparing groups A and B by means of the f-test. Table.

4 Interaction between and chelating agents 2 There can be little doubt that, for all species, nitrosonaphthol, ethyl passium xanthate and hydroxyquinoline are more spermicidal in the presence of copper. Similar effects were seen with cupferron using bull, ram and rabbit spermatozoa and with sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate in the case of the ram. The toxicity of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, ethyl passium xanthate and hydroxyquinoline was clearly greater for ram spermatozoa in the presence of zinc. In the case of the last chelating agent a similar effect was also seen with bull sperm. Cadmium enhanced the activity of ethyl passium xanthate for all species and of hydroxyquinoline for the bull, ram and rabbit. Similar effects were seen using sodium diethylthiocarbamate with ram and rabbit spermatozoa and nitrosonaphthol with the former species. Table 2.

Factorial experiments were done with two bull, ram and rabbit ejaculates using copper, zinc and cadmium respectively and the chelating agents which gave the maximum effect for the particular metal and species in Table. The results are set out in Table 2. Direct factorial analysis is n possible because of the very low variance of the highly spermicidal metal chelate mixture which in many cases gave zero mility scores. By inspection, however, it is obvious that the were n themselves toxic and that the greatly increased spermicidal activity of the metal-chelate mixture is due to an interaction between the two in a statistical sense, at least. Experiments were then undertaken to see if the toxicity of the chelating agents could be decreased by purification of the. In initial tests it was found that the mility of ram and bull spermatozoa was very much reduced in the purified
5 26 I. G. WHITE fructose without the addition of chelating agents. This was probably caused by the thermal decomposition of the ketosugar to toxic products. It was certainly n due to the spermatozoa being deprived of essential trace, since the addition of such in concentrations normally found in ram seminal plasma (copper, cobalt, manganese - mg./ioo ml.; iron, zinc -2 mg./ioo ml.) did n improve mility to any extent in the purified. If glucose, which is less readily decomposed by heat, was used instead of fructose then there was no depression of mility on purification of the. These effects are seen in Table which are the results of a factorial experiment involving four bull and four Table.

6 Interaction between and chelating agents 2 is due to the slightly improved mility on the addition of the to the glucose. The effect, however, is very small and probably unimportant. Table shows the results of toxicity tests of chelating agents for bull, ram, rabbit and human spermatozoa in purified and unpurified glucose. There is no evidence that the toxicity of the chelating agents is affected by purification. Table.

This possibility and also the action of vitamin B^ were examined in the next experiment (Table 6) in which the effect was studied of 2 mm. nickel, O/xg./ioo ml. vitamin BJJ and -2 mm. cobalt on Table 6.

7 2 I. G. WHITE the toxicity of o- mm. nitrosonaphthol and o- r mm. o-phenanthroline for bull and ram spermatozoa. On testing against group B, cobalt is seen to reduce significantly the toxicity of bh o-phenanthroline (t = i- and - respectively, P>ooi) and nitrosonaphthol (t = - and - respectively, P>o-oi) for ram and bull spermatozoa. Nickel had a similar effect with o-phenanthroline (t = io-o and -, P> o-oi) but the nickel-nitrosonaphthol complex is apparently more toxic than the free chelating agent. Vitamin B^ was n effective in reducing the toxicity of either chelating agent. DISCUSSION The pentiation of the toxicity of certain chelating agents by copper, zinc and cadmium and its reduction by cobalt seems to be of fairly general occurrence with mammalian spermatozoa. There are, however, some differences in detail between the species. Similar effects have been ned in her biological systems involving chelating agents and. Thus oxine is more toxic to fungi (Mason, ; Anderson & Swaby, ) and certain bacteria in the presence of copper. In the latter instance it has also been possible to reduce toxicity by cobalt (Rubbo, Albert & Gibson, ; Albert, Gibson & Rubbo, ). MacLeod (2), too, has found that the bacteriostatic properties of o-phenanthroline were increased by copper and decreased by cobalt, nickel and iron. Mixtures of the heavy and her chelating agents used here would seem to merit trial as contraceptives and possibly also as fungicidal and bacteriostatic agents. Invertebrate spermatozoa differ from mammalian spermatozoa in that chelating agents are n toxic to them in the concentrations used here nor is there any pentiation of toxicity by heavy. In fact, certain chelating agents may reduce the toxicity of copper and her to diluted sea-urchin spermatozoa (Rhschild, io;tyler, ; Rhschild & Tyler, ). In the complete absence of copper or iron, oxine has been shown to be completely innocuous to AspergUUs mger (Anderson & Swaby, ) and Gram-positive bacteria (Rubbo et al. ; Albert et al. ). It is tempting to suggest that the spermicidal action of the chelating agent used here might also be normally dependent upon combination with traces of such as copper. The reverse effect of cobalt could then be due to it competing with these and thus preventing the formation of spermicidal complexes. The fact that nickel, which is higher than cobalt in the Mellor-Maley series (see Albert, ), can replace cobalt in the case of o-phenanthroline is consistent with the hyphesis that bh act in this way. On the her hand, there was no evidence in these experiments that the toxicity of the chelating agent is reduced by purification of the. The possibility cann be excluded, however, that the chelating agents themselves contained traces of. It is unlikely that the free metal content of most mammalian semen would be sufficient to mask the effect of purifying the. The inability of vitamin B^ to replace cobalt in reducing the spermicidal activity of o-phenanthroline and nitrosonaphthol would suggest, as might be expected, that their toxicity is n concerned with the inactivation of this substance.
8 Interaction between and chelating agents 2 It should also be borne in mind that the oxidation products of at least some of the chelating agents, e.g. sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and passium ethyl xanthate, might be the final toxic agents (Keilin & Hartree, ). If this is so, then copper and her might act by influencing the rate of their formation. SUMMARY Studies have been made over a hr. period at room temperature on the effect of o-i mm. chelating agents and -2 mm. on the mility of bull, ram, rabbit and human spermatozoa. Cobalt decreased the toxicity of () nitrosonaphthol for all four species, (2) o- phenanthroline for the first three and () sodium diethyldithiocarbamate for the bull. increased the toxicity of () nitrosonaphthol, ethyl passium xanthate and hydroxyquinoline for all species, (2) cupferron for the first three and () sodium diethyldithiocarbamate for the ram. Zinc increased the toxicity of () sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, ethyl passium xanthate and hydroxyquinoline for ram spermatozoa and (2) hydroxyquinoline for bull spermatozoa. Cadmium increased the toxicity of () ethyl passium xanthate for all species, (2) hydroxyquinoline for the first three, () sodium diethyldithiocarbamate for the ram and rabbit and () nitrosonaphthol for the ram. Factorial experiments using bull, ram and rabbit spermatozoa indicated that the spermicidal activity of the metal-chelate mixtures were due to an interaction between the two and n merely additive effects of two spermicidal substances. Purification of the did n influence the toxicity of the chelating agents to bull, ram or rabbit spermatozoa. Vitamin B^ (/xg. %) did n reduce the toxicity of o-phenanthroline or nitrosonaphthol for bull or ram spermatozoa. Nickel was almost as effective as cobalt in reducing the toxicity of o-phenanthroline for ram and bull spermatozoa. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Prof. C. W.
