Dimethandrolone buciclate

Dimethandrolone buciclate

Dimethandrolone buciclate (pronunciation: di-meth-an-dro-lone bu-ci-clate), also known as 7α,11β-dimethyl-19-nortestosterone 17β-buciclate or DMAU, is a synthetic, injected anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of nandrolone.

Etymology

The name "Dimethandrolone buciclate" is derived from its chemical structure. "Dimethandrolone" indicates the presence of two methyl groups in the androlone (a type of androgen) molecule, while "buciclate" refers to the buciclate ester that is attached to the steroid, which helps to prolong its effects in the body.

Usage

Dimethandrolone buciclate is currently being researched as a potential male contraceptive due to its ability to suppress gonadotropin levels and thereby reduce spermatogenesis. It is also being studied for its potential use in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for men.
