Nandrolone Decanoate

Nandrolone Decanoate is the decanoate salt form of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid analog of testosterone with androgenic, anabolic, and erythropoietin stimulating effects. Nandrolone enters the cell and binds to and activates specific nuclear androgen receptors in responsive tissue, including the prostate, seminal vesicles, scrotum, penis, larynx, hair follicles, muscle, and bone. The resulting activated hormone receptor complex translocates into the nucleus and binds to androgen response elements (ARE) in the promoter region of targeted genes, where the complex promotes gene expression necessary for maintaining male sex characteristics. Mimicking the negative feedback mechanism of testosterone, nNandrolone Cypionate also suppresses the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). Furthermore, this agent also stimulates erythropoietin production by enhancing the production of erythropoietic stimulating factors.

Nandrolone Decanoate, also known as deca-durabolin or retabolil, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as steroid esters. Steroid esters are compounds containing a steroid moiety which bears a carboxylic acid ester group. Nandrolone decanoate is a drug which is used for the treatment of refractory deficient red cell production anemias, breast carcinoma, hereditary angioedema, antithrombin iii deficiency, fibrinogen excess, growth failure and turner’s syndrome. it is also indicated in the prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema. Nandrolone decanoate exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Nandrolone d has been found in human hepatic tissue tissue, and has also been detected in multiple biofluids, such as urine and blood. Within the cell, nandrolone decanoate is primarily located in the cytoplasm and membrane (predicted from logP).

C18 steroid with androgenic and anabolic properties. It is generally prepared from alkyl ethers of estradiol to resemble testosterone but less one carbon at the 19 position. It is a schedule III drug in the U.S.
