Azacosterol (Ornitrol, 20,25-diazacholesterol dihydrochloride, SC 12937) is a cholesterol-lowering drug (hypocholesteremic) which was marketed previously but has since been discontinued. Azacosterol is a sterol derivative of cholesterol with two nitrogen atoms replacing two carbon atoms that acts as a hypocholesteremic agent by blocking delta-24-reductase. Azacosterol has the unintended side effect of causing myotonia. It is an avian contraceptive compound, which reduces fertility by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis. Azacosterol is also useful in the control of rodent populations.

The effect of intraperitoneal administration for 28 days of 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg body weight per day of 20,25-diazacholesterol dihydrochloride on the testis of Parkes (P) strain mice was investigated. Histologically, testes in mice treated with 10 or 20 mg/kg body weight of SC 12937 showed non-uniform degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules. Testes in mice treated with 30 mg/kg body weight of the drug exhibited a degenerated appearance of germ cells in all seminiferous tubules.
