Description

Dihydrotestosterone Tridecanoate is a synthetic, long-chain ester derivative of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This chemical modification enhances its lipophilicity and stability, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily utilized by R&D laboratories and manufacturers in the life sciences sector focusing on endocrinology, metabolic studies, and novel therapeutic agent synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of specialized androgen-based compounds and prodrugs for research purposes.
• Endocrinology Research: Used in preclinical studies to investigate androgen receptor activity, metabolism, and the effects of modified steroid hormones.
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and compound identification via HPLC or GC-MS.
• Biochemical Tool Compound: Utilized in cell-based assays and biochemical studies to explore signal transduction pathways influenced by androgens.
• Metabolic Studies: Applied in research to understand the esterification and hydrolysis pathways of steroid hormones in biological systems.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Potential precursor in the development of specialized polymers or delivery systems for controlled-release applications.

Quality Control

Our Dihydrotestosterone Tridecanoate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
