化学的特性
Testosterone Propionate occurs as white or almost white powder or colourless to pale yellow, crystals or crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in methanol and in ethanol, and practically insoluble in water.
使用
Testosterone propionate is an is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication, which directs the development of the male phenotype during embryogenesis and at puberty. It has been widely used by athletes and bodybuilders for physical performance enhancement. Testosterone propionate has also been used for studying its effects on pregnant ewes.
世界保健機関（WHO）
In 1982, low dosage preparations of testosterone propionate, a
synthetic ester of the naturally-occurring androgen, testosterone, were prohibited
in Bangladesh following their inadmissable promotion as anabolic agents for use
in malnourished children. Higher dosage preparations of testosterone propionate
remain available in many countries, including Bangladesh, for several highly
specific but limited indications including hypogonadism and the palliative
treatment of inoperable breast cancer.

安全性プロファイル
with experimental neoplastigenic, tumorigenic, and teratogenic data. Moderately toxic by ingestion and wintraperitoneal routes. Human male reproductive effects by intramuscular and parenteral routes: changes in spermatogenesis, testes, epid~dpmis, and sperm duct. Human female reproductive effects by intramuscular and parenteral routes: menstrual cycle changes or disorders and effects on ferthty. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also TESTOSTERONE.
純化方法
Crystallise the propionate from aqueous EtOH, or Et2O/pet ether (m 121o), and it has max at 240nm (EtOH), and [] 20 +114o (c 1, CHCl3). Also purify it by HPLC.

Mode of action
Testosterone Propionate is a short acting oil-based injectable formulation of testosterone. Testosterone inhibits gonadotropin secretion from the pituitary gland and ablates estrogen production in the ovaries, thereby decreasing endogenous estrogen levels. In addition, this agent promotes the maintenance of male sex characteristics and is indicated for testosterone replacement in hypogonadal males.
