Description
Nandrocyl D® is a sterile oily solution containing nandrolone decanoate, an esterified form of nandrolone. Nandrolone is a 19-nor steroid compound, while the decanoate ester is attached to the 17β-hydroxyl group and increases the lipophilic character of the molecule.
The oily injectable form is suited to this long-chain ester for deep intramuscular administration. After injection, the oil phase forms a depot from which the esterified substance is released before enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bond yields nandrolone. In this type of preparation, the decanoate ester structure and oil-based vehicle are important factors influencing the depot character of the product.
