Description

11Alpha,17Beta-Dihydroxy-17-Methylandrost-4-En-3-One is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) derivative, specifically a dihydroxylated and 17α-alkylated analog of testosterone. This compound is valued in pharmaceutical research and development for its potent androgenic activity and modified metabolic profile. It serves as a critical pharmaceutical intermediate and reference standard for analytical laboratories, research institutions, and manufacturers developing specialized steroid-based therapeutics or conducting metabolic studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material or precursor in the synthesis of advanced steroid-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Reference Standard: Used in analytical chemistry for method development, validation, and quality control testing via HPLC, GC-MS, or other chromatographic techniques.
• Biochemical Research: Investigated in academic and institutional research for studying androgen receptor binding, anabolic pathways, and steroid metabolism.
• Metabolite Studies: Employed as a standard in doping control and forensic toxicology to identify and quantify steroid metabolites.
• Veterinary Pharmaceutical Development: Potential use in developing anabolic agents for therapeutic applications in animals.
