Antiestrogenic effects

Dromostanolone Propionate is the propionate salt form of dromostanolone, a synthetic anabolic steroid related to dihydrotestosterone that has antiestrogenic effects. Dromostanolone inhibits the growth of estrogen receptor-presenting breast cancers; its virilizing effects limit its clinical usefulness.Drostanolone propionate is a modified form of drostanolone, where a carboxylic acid ester (propionic acid) has been attached to the 17-beta hydroxyl group.Drostanolone Propionate is a synthetic androgenic anabolic steroid and is approximately 5 times as potent as natural methyltestosterone.

Physiological effect

Like testosterone and other androgenic hormones, dromostanolone binds to the androgen receptor. This causes downstream genetic transcriptional changes. This ultimately causes retention of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus; increases protein anabolism; and decreases amino acid catabolism. The antitumour activity of dromostanolone appears related to reduction or competitive inhibition of prolactin receptors or estrogen receptors or production.Specifically, Masteron is the DHT hormone that has been structurally altered by the addition of a methyl group at the carbon 2 position, This protects the hormone from the metabolic breakdown by the 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme, which is found in the skeletal muscle.

Preparation

Drostanolone propionate is prepared from 9,11-dehydro-17a-methyl-testosterone raw material, reacts with lithium chloride and N-chlorosuccinimide to generate 9a,11-dichloro-17a-methyl- 95 testosterone is further prepared by esterification with propionin.

Therapeutic Function

Cancer chemotherapy

Side effects

As to be expected with all steroids, it's essential that you're aware of all potential side effects of Drostanolone propionate, before you consider a cycle. Side effects of drostanolone propionate include symptoms of masculinization like acne, increased hair growth, voice changes, and increased sexual desire. It has no risk of liver damage.

Definition

ChEBI: Drostanolone propionate is a steroid ester and a 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent. It is functionally related to a metholone.
