Description

Application

Testosterone propionate has been used for studying its effects on pregnant ewes[1],[2].

Biochem/physiol Actions

Androgens direct the development of the male phenotype during embryogenesis and at puberty. Testosterone is an androgen that is secreted by the testis. This hormone is converted to dihydrotestosterone in the target tissues where it regulates several biological functions. Testosterone propionate has been synthetically derived from a plant. This product has extended and faster-acting functions when compared to other testosterone esters.

Physical form

Photosensitive solid

Preparation Note

This product is soluble in chloroform (50 mg/ml). It is also soluble in various oils. The oil solutions can be sterilized by maintaining at 150 deg C for 1 hour. It is practically insoluble in water, soluble 1 in 6 of ethanol, 1 in 4 of acetone, 1 in 20 of ethyl oleate, and 1 in 30 of propylene glycol. The product is incompatible with alkalis and oxidizing agents and it should be protected from light.
