the anabolic/androgenic index as we know it is flawed and has been interpreted and debated by medical professionals for years, especially in structures/and similar structures that never made it to phase I trial. androgenic index is partially based on the ability of a substance to induce ductal branching(development, not maintenance) in rat ventral prostate. i am not sure where they came up with numbers for phera-plex. but the following is one of my theories of phera-plex. 2-ene may reduce(through mechanisms i am unaware of(maybe in liver with cytochrome p-450 type factors, or in peripheral integumentary tissue where 3 HSD may somehow react with the 2-ene, thus forming an intermediate "keto-enol" type intermediate at the 3'rd carbon, maybe we could call this intermediate basicly 17alpha methyl androstenediol(that is if the 3-ol is the predominant metabolite and it does not go directly to a 3-keto). the 3-diol then may go through 3HSD(alpha and beta) and turn into keto,,,then you have 17 alpha methyl DHT(mestanolone). or maybe it has intrinsic anabolic/androgenic activity without a 3-keto and is anabolic on its own.....just some rambling im sorry........if the proposed was true then this subsatance would have not eluded drug testing because it would resemble 17 alpha methyl DHT which is a common drug tested for(and i may have just destroyed my theory)......................or maybe.it forms an
3-epi dht type structure.......... naaaaahh.
form my previous rambling i have feeling 17 alpha methyl dht may be formed from pheraplex. If it is not a major metabolite i believe it may be present in trace amounts.
