Testosterone enanthate, sold under the brand names Delatestryl and Xyosted among others, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication which is used mainly in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men.[3][4][5] It is also used in hormone therapy for transgender men.[6] It is given by injection into muscle usually once every one to four weeks.[5][7][2]
Side effects of testosterone enanthate include symptoms of masculinization like acne, increased hair growth, voice changes, and increased sexual desire.[5] The drug is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid and hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).[8][5] It has strong androgenic effects and moderate anabolic effects, which make it useful for producing masculinization and suitable for androgen replacement therapy.[5] Testosterone enanthate is a testosterone ester and a long-lasting prodrug of testosterone in the body.[7][3][4] Because of this, it is considered to be a natural and bioidentical form of testosterone.[9]
Testosterone enanthate was introduced for medical use in 1954.[10][4] Along with testosterone cypionate, testosterone undecanoate, and testosterone propionate, it is one of the most widely used testosterone esters.[8][4][5] In addition to its medical use, testosterone enanthate is used to improve physique and performance.[5] The drug is a controlled substance in many countries and so non-medical use is generally illicit.[5]
Medical uses
Testosterone enanthate is used primarily in androgen replacement therapy.[4] It is the most widely used form of testosterone in androgen replacement therapy.[4] The medication is specifically approved, in the United States, for the treatment of hypogonadism in men, delayed puberty in boys, and breast cancer in women.[11] It is also used in masculinizing hormone therapy for transgender men.[6]

Side effects
Side effects of testosterone enanthate include virilization among others.[5] Approximately 10 percent of testosterone enanthate will be converted to dihydrotestosterone in normal men.[22] Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can promote masculine characteristics in both males and females. These masculine characteristics include: clitoral hypertrophy, androgenic alopecia, growth of body hair and deepening of the vocal cords. Dihydrotestosterone also plays an important role in male sexual function and may also be a contributing factor of ischemic priapism in males as shown in a study conducted on the use of finasteride to treat ischemic priapism in males. Testosterone enanthate can also lead to an increase in igf-1 and igf-bp.[23][24] Testosterone enanthate can also be converted to estradiol by aromatase,[25] which may lead to gynecomastia in males. Aromatase inhibitors can help to prevent the estrogenic activity of testosterone enanthate in the body.[26]

Testosterone enanthate is a prodrug of testosterone and is an androgen and anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS). That is, it is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR).
Pharmacokinetics
Testosterone enanthate has an elimination half-life of 4.5 days and a mean residence time of 8.5 days when used as a depot intramuscular injection.[2] It requires frequent administration of approximately once per week, and large fluctuations in testosterone levels result with it, with levels initially being elevated and supraphysiological.[2]

Chemistry
Testosterone enanthate, or testosterone 17β-heptanoate, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of testosterone.[27][28] It is an androgen ester; specifically, it is the C17β enanthate (heptanoate) ester of testosterone.[27][28]
