Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Clostebol caproate is a prodrug of clostebol. Like other AAS, clostebol is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR). It is not a substrate for 5α-reductase and is a poor substrate for 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD), and therefore shows a high ratio of anabolic to androgenic activity.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
Clostebol caproate, also known as 4-chlorotestosterone 17β-caproate, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of testosterone. It is the C17β caproate (hexanoate) ester of clostebol (4-chlorotestosterone), which is testosterone with a chlorine atom at the C4 position.
History[edit | edit source]
Clostebol caproate was first described in 1962 and was introduced for medical use by 1964.
Society and culture[edit | edit source]
Clostebol caproate has been used in bodybuilding and has been marketed for veterinary use.
