Testosterone isocaproate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Testosterone isocaproate is a testosterone ester with improved bioavailability and metabolic half life compared to the endogenous hormone.It used to testosterone replacement therapy in sterilization, missing testicle, hypopituitarism, and osteoporosis.

Chemical Properties

White or almost white powder.

Uses

Testosterone Isocaproate is used in the treatment of male hypogonadism (a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone).

Definition

ChEBI: Testosterone isocaproate is a steroid ester.

Side effects

Acne, Injection site pain, Weight gain, Prostate enlargement, Increased red blood cells, Dizziness, Diarrhea

Mode of action

Testosterone Isocaproate is similar to the natural male hormone, testosterone. Testosterone binds to the androgen receptor (AR), and the ligand-receptor complex translocates to the nucleus and binds to androgen response elements (AREs) on chromosomal DNA, thereby modulating transcription of a set of androgen-responsive genes. Testosterone can also be converted to estrogen and has a similar regulatory action on genes containing estrogen response elements (EREs).
