N,N′-Octamethylenebis(2,2-dichloroacetamide) also called Fertilysin, is an inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase, ALDH1A2. It is a small, naturally occurring peptide that may act to have a wide range of biological activities, including the promotion of fertility. It is believed to work by increasing the production of certain hormones, such as luteinizing hormone, which is responsible for the production of eggs in women, and follicle-stimulating hormone, which is responsible for the production of sperm in men. N,N′-Octamethylenebis(2,2-dichloroacetamide) may also act as a signaling molecule, stimulating the growth and maturation of embryos. Additionally, it may act to increase the production of certain proteins, such as follistatin, which is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle.
