Bolazine capronate (pronunciation: boh-LAH-zin CAP-roh-nate) is a synthetic, injectable anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) that is used in veterinary medicine. It is a derivative of testosterone, specifically, it is a blend of the testosterone derivative bolazine and the ester capronate.
Etymology
The term "bolazine" is derived from the chemical structure of the compound, which contains a "bola" or double-ring structure. The term "capronate" refers to the caproic acid ester that is attached to the bolazine molecule to increase its half-life and duration of action.
Usage
Bolazine capronate is used in veterinary medicine to promote muscle growth in animals. It is not approved for use in humans and is classified as a controlled substance in many countries due to its potential for misuse and abuse.
