Nandrolone nonanoate, also known as nandrolone pelargonate or as 19-nortestosterone 17β-nonanoate, is an androgen and anabolic steroid and an androgen ester—specifically, the C17β nonanoate (pelargonate) ester of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone)—which was studied but was never marketed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Butyrate, hexanoate, heptanoate, octanoate, nonanoate, decanoate, and undecanoate esters of testosterone and nandrolone were prepd. and characterized.
The short-comings of the various methods used for detg. anabolic-androgenic activities were discussed, and a realistic method was developed for the comparative studies. The limitation of using the wt. gain of the target organs after administration of the hormone, which is time-dependent, was highlighted. The cumulative wt. (mg day) was recommended; it is independent of time, provided the expt. is carried out until the sample response reaches a plateau. This method provides a basis for obtaining anabolic-androgenic percentage dissocn. The method is applied to a no. of nandrolone esters.
