Spermicides came into existence as a method of contraception for over hundred years. Since then, investigations and developments in this field have led to more and more fruitful as well as promising results but still left enough scope for further studies. The titled article manifests a brief discussion on the development of spermicides from different natural and synthetic sources, a compilation of the promising molecules and even extracts and includes an outline of the basic physiology behind the bioactivity. Since spermicides are only one among several other methods of contraception adopted and practiced, an attempt has been made to probe the necessity and advantage of spermicides over other modes of contraception, emphasizing on the requirements and scope of future investigations in this field.
