4-Vinylcyclohexene Dioxide (VCD) is an industrial epoxy resin intermediate and metabolite that exhibits a highly selective destructive effect on oocytes in primordial and primary follicles, it is used as a key inducer for establishing animal models of premature ovarian failure and premenopause. 4-Vinylcyclohexene Dioxide exerts its ovarian toxicity by activating caspase-dependent apoptotic pathways and can induce apoptosis in ovarian granulosa cells by upregulating reactive oxygen species and activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. It is used in reproductive toxicology and endocrine regulation research.
