Retrotestosterone(CAT: I035516) is a synthetic androgen and structural isomer of testosterone, differing in the orientation of the hydrogen atom at the 5-position of the steroid nucleus. This subtle structural change alters its interaction with the androgen receptor (AR), potentially modifying its anabolic and androgenic activity. Retrotestosterone is primarily utilized in endocrinology and androgen receptor research to study androgen signaling pathways, receptor binding affinities, and the biological effects of androgens. Its unique profile makes it a valuable tool for exploring the development of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) and potential therapies for muscle wasting and hypogonadism.
