What is Testosterone isocaproate?

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.

The Uses of Testosterone isocaproate

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.

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).
