Structure
Andralone is an anabolic androgenic steroid with a modified cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene structure. It typically includes additional functional groups to enhance its anabolic properties.
Chemical Formula: C₂₀H₂₈O₂
Mode of Action
Androgen Receptor Activation: Similar to testosterone, Andralone binds to androgen receptors, promoting anabolic effects.
Enhanced Anabolic Activity: Modified structure aims to increase muscle-building effects while reducing androgenic side effects.
Protein Synthesis Stimulation: Promotes muscle growth and repair.
Uses
Bodybuilding and Athletic Performance: Utilized (often illicitly) to increase muscle mass and strength.
Therapeutic Applications: Limited clinical use due to potential side effects and regulatory restrictions.
