Nandrolone cyclohexanecarboxylate
Nandrolone cyclohexanecarboxylate
Nandrolone cyclohexanecarboxylate is a synthetic anabolic steroid and a derivative of nandrolone. It is an ester of nandrolone, specifically the cyclohexanecarboxylate ester, which modifies the release rate and duration of action of the nandrolone molecule.
Chemical Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]
Nandrolone cyclohexanecarboxylate is chemically known as 17β-Hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one cyclohexanecarboxylate. The esterification of nandrolone with cyclohexanecarboxylic acid extends its half-life, allowing for less frequent administration compared to nandrolone itself.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
As an anabolic steroid, nandrolone cyclohexanecarboxylate promotes protein synthesis and muscle growth. It has a high anabolic to androgenic ratio, which means it has a greater effect on muscle growth than on the development of male characteristics. This makes it a popular choice among bodybuilders and athletes for performance enhancement.
