Ethylene dimethane sulfonate is a mild alkylating, non-volatile methanesulfonic diester of ethylene glycol. Ethylene dimethanesulfonate has selective pro-apoptotic effects on LCs[1].
Ethylene dimethanesulfonate (subcutaneous injection; 75 mg/kg; 7 days) disrupts epididymal function and leads to sperm granuloma formation in rat[1].
