Methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate
Methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate is a synthetic anabolic steroid developed for medicinal use. It is a derivative of testosterone, a naturally occurring male sex hormone, and is used to treat conditions that require increased protein synthesis and muscle mass, such as muscle wasting diseases and delayed puberty.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate is a modified form of testosterone, with two enanthoyl groups attached to the testosterone molecule at the 17th carbon position. This modification increases the steroid's anabolic activity and reduces its androgenic activity. The acetate ester is attached to the 3rd carbon position, which controls the release of the steroid into the bloodstream.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate is administered via intramuscular injection. Once in the body, it is slowly released into the bloodstream over a period of several days. The steroid binds to androgen receptors in muscle cells, stimulating protein synthesis and promoting muscle growth. It also has some androgenic effects, such as increased body hair growth and deepening of the voice, but these are less pronounced than with testosterone.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate is used in medicine to treat conditions that require increased protein synthesis and muscle mass. These include muscle wasting diseases such as cancer and AIDS, as well as delayed puberty in boys. It is also used in some cases to treat osteoporosis, as it can help to increase bone density.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all anabolic steroids, methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate can have side effects. These can include acne, hair loss, gynecomastia, and changes in mood and behavior. Long-term use can also lead to serious health problems such as liver damage, heart disease, and infertility.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
In many countries, methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate is a controlled substance, meaning it is illegal to buy or sell without a prescription. It is also banned by most sports organizations due to its potential for abuse as a performance-enhancing drug.
