DESCRIPTION
The androgens are steroids that develop and maintain primary and
secondary male sex characteristics.
Androgens are derivatives of cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene.
Endogenous androgens are C-19
steroids with a side chain at C-17, and with two angular methyl
groups. Testosterone is the primary
endogenous androgen. In their active form, all drugs in the class have
a 17-beta hydroxy group. 17-
alpha alkylation (methylTESTOSTERone) increases the pharmacologic
activity per unit weight
compared to testosterone when given orally.
MethylTESTOSTERone, a synthetic derivative of testosterone, is an
androgenic preparation given by
the oral route in a capsule form. Each capsule contains 10 mg of
MethylTESTOSTERone USP. It has
the following structural formula:
C
H O M.W. 302.46
17-β-hydroxy-17-methylandrost-4-en-3-one
MethylTESTOSTERone occurs as white or creamy white crystals or powder,
which is soluble in
various organic solvents but is practically insoluble in water.
Each capsule, for oral administration, contains 10 mg of
methylTESTOSTERone. In addition, each
capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: Corn starch NF,
Gelatin NF, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C
Red #40.
