testosterone propionate/testosterone phenylpropionate/testosterone isocaproate/testosterone decanoate









































testosterone propionate/testosterone phenylpropionate/testosterone isocaproate/testosterone decanoate (tp/tpp/tic/td), sold under the brand name sustanon 250 (organon) among others, is an injectable combination medication of four testosterone esters, all of which are androgens/anabolic steroids. they include:









































bullet::::- 30 mg testosterone propionate









































bullet::::- 60 mg testosterone phenylpropionate









































bullet::::- 60 mg testosterone isocaproate









































bullet::::- 100 mg testosterone decanoate









































they are provided as an oil solution and are administered by intramuscular injection. the different testosterone esters provide for different elimination half-lives in the body. esterification of testosterone provides for a sustained but non-linear release of testosterone hormone from the injection depot into the circulation.

in the 1930s, it was already known that the testes contain a more powerful androgen than androstenone, and three groups of scientists, funded by competing pharmaceutical companies in the netherlands, germany, and switzerland, raced to isolate it. this hormone was first identified by karoly gyula david, e. dingemanse, j. freud and ernst laqueur in a may 1935 paper "on crystalline male hormone from testicles (testosterone)." they named the hormone "testosterone", from the stems of "testicle" and "sterol", and the suffix of "ketone". the chemical synthesis of testosterone was achieved in august that year, when butenandt and g. hanisch published a paper describing "a method for preparing testosterone from cholesterol." only a week later, the third group, ruzicka and a. wettstein, announced a patent application in a paper "on the artificial preparation of the testicular hormone testosterone (androsten-3-one-17-ol)." ruzicka and butenandt were offered the 1939 nobel prize in chemistry for their work, but the nazi government forced butenandt to decline the honor, although he accepted the prize after the end of world war ii.
