Dimethandrolone dodecylcarbonate
Dimethandrolone dodecylcarbonate (DDC) is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of nandrolone. It is specifically a C17α alkylated, C7α carboxylated, C11β methylated, and C21 dodecylcarbonate ester of dimethandrolone (7α,11β-dimethyl-19-nortestosterone).
History
Dimethandrolone dodecylcarbonate was first described in a 2002 patent application by the University of Southern California. It was developed for potential use as a long-acting injectable male contraceptive and for the treatment of conditions such as hypogonadism, muscle wasting and osteoporosis.
Pharmacology
As an AAS, DDC is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It has strong anabolic effects and moderate androgenic effects, which give it a favorable anabolic-to-androgenic ratio.
Side Effects
Potential side effects of DDC include virilization in women, gynecomastia in men, and cardiovascular and hepatic concerns. As with all AAS, it has potential for abuse and dependence.
