Pill to have rival in hormone-emitting IUD
By ALICE DELEHANTY
Kansas Staff Reporter
Kansan Staff Reporter
An intrauterine birth control device developed at McColm Laboratories on West Campus, which will be as effective as oral contraceptives will be on the market by the end of this year. Takeru Higuchi, professor of chemistry, said yesterday.
Clinical studies conducted in Chicago, Mexico City and Hong Kong showed the device to be 98.5 per cent effective in preventing preemacryn. Hiuchi said.
Preliminary investigation and design of the device was done by Higuchi in conjunction with Alza Corporation, a private research corporation. Alza financed the device for about $1 million. Collim Laboratories. McColium later bought out Alza's local research center.
Higuchi, vice president of exploratory research for Alza from 1968 to 1972, developed the device during those three years.
The device, released under the trademark Progesterol, has already been approved and put in use in Canada and Germany and would be approved in the United States. Hunch said.
Unlike conventional IUD's, which act by irritating the uterine tissue, Progesteros acts through emission of progestagen hormones. These hormones affect uterine tissue so it won't accept sperm implantation. Hinuchi said.
Progesterone is more desirable than contraceptives because the hormonal agent
is delivered directly to where the action takes place, Higuchi said. Oral contraceptives and implanted or injected hormones, he said, all deliver the hormone to the system rather than directly to the target area.
The task of the researchers at McColllum was to determine the plastic material that would release the correct amount of the hormone.
Progesteros is a T-shaped plastic container which is inserted into the uterus, Hormone
"The Progestoset device involves a thermodynamic concept. As long as we have crystalline hormone in the package, this should not interfere with nature of the plastic barrier." Hirschi said.
"It certainly is a marked improvement over conventional IUD's," he said.
Higuchi said he anticipated that Pietroosert would be well received on the platform.
Since Progesteroset does affect uterine tissue characteristics, there is the possibility of breakthrough bleeding with its use. Breakthrough bleeding is uterine bleeding during the menstrual cycle at any time other than the period.
The marketed product is designed to release hormones for one year, but could be designed to work effectively for a two-year period, Higuiji said.

Some of the groups Whompr has made donations to are the parent-teacher organizations at several schools, the University of Kansas Endowment Association, Penn House and the KU Rugby Club.
Although whitemper is primarily an environment which are not environmental groups but which help in environmental causes are likely candidates for financial support, Arly will probably be one of them.
"Whomp" is the sound made by a machine crushing cans and bottles. From that sound comes the name of a local environmental group, Whomper, Inc., which has been financing local community projects and is looking for more.
Currently, Whomper is sponsoring a girls' softball team, the Deerfield Whompers, and will hold a "Splash for Trash" day August 2. The team will use a private Lawrence Municipal Pool for each large grocery bag of clean, unlabeled cans to be used in the school cafeteria between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., that day.
Whomper quells problems benefits local environment
Allen said his group was considering a small park by the Kaw River, but no plan.
"The problem with Whomper was that it fled the room and was guarded, confused enthusiasts," he said.
"We're a small organization with a small amount of revenue," he said.

Whomper, originally a University-funded organization, was plagued by debts and disorganization since its inception in 1971.
Large amounts of uncrushed, unsold metal cars began accumulating in March 1972 at the north end of Memorial Stadium, where the crusher was housed, Allen said. When the pile continued to grow because no buyers could be found for the recycled materials, the operation site was moved to bldg and Hampshire streets. This was done by the team of administrators, who didn't want people seeing the trash at commencement.
"It it wasn't thought out at all," Allen said. "The assumption was that if you had good motives, somebody would come along in a truck and pay money for it."
Other problems were evident before the center was moved. One was a lack of

organization. The University Senate committee supervising Whomper was to report to the Senate monthly but met infrequently and apparently kept no minutes.
An unsuccessful attempt to raise money by selling Whomper T-shirts left the organization with a $1,000 debt to the endowment association.
Whomper is now a nonprofit corporation and has paid all past debts considered legitimate by the management, Arly Allen said.

"The corporation was organized under the laws of the state of Kansas as a profit-making body, one of its objectives being to help create significant resources in support KU through the equity position held by the KU Endowment Association," H吉uchi said.
