Summary.

High concentrations of α-chlorohydrin were found to inhibit hyaluronidase, β-glucuronidase, and aryl sulphatases in bull and rabbit spermatozoa, but not acrosin and neuraminidase. Preincubation of the enzyme and α-chlorohydrin was essential to achieve the maximum inhibition which was irreversible.
