Depo-Testosterone
Synonyms:Andronate;Depo-Testosterone;Depo-Testosterone Cypionate;deposteron;Depostomead;Duratest;Testa-C;Testex Elmu;testosterone 17 beta-cyclopentanepropionate;testosterone 17 beta-cyclopentylpropionate;testosterone 17 beta-cypionate;testosterone cypionate
Canonical SMILES:
CC12CCC3C(C1CCC2OC(=O)CCC4CCCC4)CCC5=CC(=O)CCC35C
Characteristics
Testosterone cypionate has greater lipid solubility due to esterification, which delays its release into the circulation and prolongs its action. It exhibits anabolic activity and reduced androgenicity, making it popular among recreational athletes and bodybuilders.
Abuse of testosterone cypionate can lead to various mental and physical health issues, including mood disorders, dependency syndromes, pulmonary embolism, and cardiovascular alterations.
Mechanism of Action
Once in the bloodstream, the ester is removed, leaving free (active) testosterone, which acts through androgen receptors.
Pharmacokinetics
The half-life of testosterone cypionate is approximately 8 days after injection.
Medical Uses
Treatment of delayed puberty, male climacteric, specific types of anemia, erectile dysfunction due to kidney failure, hormone replacement therapy in men with hypogonadism, and as a secondary treatment for inoperable metastatic breast cancer in women.
Historical Development
First synthesized in 1951 and introduced for medical use in the United States the same year under the brand name Depo-Testosterone. Initially used for various applications such as bone structural maturation, treating menorrhagia, excessive breastfeeding, increasing muscle mass, and combating osteoporosis. Over time, its use has primarily focused on male androgen deficiency.
FDA-approved for hormone replacement therapy in men with conditions related to endogenous testosterone deficiency and as a secondary treatment for inoperable metastatic breast cancer in women.
