Bolazine ( INN ), also known as 2α-methyl-5α-androstan-17β-ol-3-one azine, is a synthetic androgen/ anabolic steroid (AAS) of the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) group which was never marketed. [1] It is not orally active[ citation needed] and is used as the ester prodrug bolazine capronate (brand name Roxilon Inject) via depot intramuscular injection. [1] Bolazine has a unique and unusual chemical structure, being a dimer of drostanolone linked at the C3 position of the A- ring by an azine group, and reportedly acts as a prodrug of drostanolone.
