In Reply to: GURUS: WHAT ABOUT SYNOVEX??? posted by Curious on March 07, 1997 at 17:38:55:
: First off, let me say that all the gurus are definitely well-educated. Your advice has been great, but my question is whether anyone has the isolation info for Synovex-H? I tried a search, but I didn't get anything concrete. The product is available right down the street, and it seems like a waste to let this good thing just sit, but I really don't need the added female side-profile that all that estradiol would give. Any kitchen recipes, docs?? Thanks
Here's some info from Deja News -- thanks Pat:
�Use caution with the Synovex, as it also contains estradiol. Disolve it in
ether and set it in the fridge overnight. When you take it out, the estradiol
should have precipitated to the bottom (along with binders and fillers).
Filter out the precipitate and evaporate the ether. Mix into oil solution
and add some benzyl alcohol. Voila.
Finaplix, do the same thing, but no worries of estrogen remaining in
solution. Also, I'm sure acetone works for the Finaplix as well as ether, but
I'm not sure if it works for the Synovex (not positive the estradiol will
precipitate along with the binders and fillers). Anyway, good luck. Careful
with the Synovex. You don't want bitch tits.�
�Basically grind up the Synovex to a powder and dissolve it in some ether
(diethyl ether). Maybe about 50 ml of ether per teaspoon of powder.
Then filter off the insolubles. next concentrate the ether solution (by
evaporation) slowly until crystals just start to form. Immediately put in
freezer overnight.
Filter off crystals (estradiol benzoate). Remaining in the ether is your Test
Prop which of course can then be restored by evaporating off the ether.�
