Converting Testogel to an injectable

Ok so i know this has been talked about before but the thread died. And i want to revisit it for the hell of it.


"What TESTOGEL contains
-
The active substance is testosterone. Each
5 g sachet contains
50 mg testosterone.
-
The other ingredients are Carbomer 980, isopropyl myristate, ethanol 96%, sodium
hydroxide, purified water. "



So according to this list it leaves questions of how to deal with these main ingredients.

Carbomer 980

According to nps

This is an active ingredient in Eye Gels and Drops. Because the Eye is an internal part of the body and is filled with capillaries that suggests to me that there would be no issue with this component when it comes to injections.


isopropyl myristate

This one ingredient highly talked about but after some research i found this study
titled "A study of the adaptability of isopropyl myristate for use as a vehicle for parenteral injections". penteral injections being parenteral [pah-ren´ter-al]
by some route other than through the alimentary canal, such as by subcutaneous, intramuscular, intrasternal, or intravenous injection.

according to the following abstract it suggest there would be very low irratiability or issue with this compound.

Abstract:

"Studies of isopropyl myristate show that it has a very low degree of irritability and exhibits no sensitizing propensities in animals following topical and parenteral administration. It is nontoxic to animals, and well tolerated following injections of moderate amounts. Its mixture with aluminum monostearate in 2 per cent solution of the latter compound retains effective therapeutic concentrations of penicillin (procaine enicillin) for periods up to forty-eight hours after intramuscular injection in rabkts. In experiments on ovariectomized rats it compared favorably with sesame oil as a repository vehicle for estrogens."

ethanol 96%

According to the solubility of ethanol and other alcohols

Alcohol solubility chart
Name Formula Solubility
Methanol CH3OH miscible
Ethanol C2H5OH miscible
Propanol C3H7OH miscible
Butanol C4H9OH 0.11
Pentanol C5H11OH 0.030
Hexanol C6H13OH 0.0058
Heptanol C7H15OH 0.0008

As previously discussed in the original thread simply mixing water would neutralize this element of the gel.

sodium hydroxide

Now this is the main ingredient that has caused a lot of talk. But according to all sources neutralizing Sodium Hydroxide is as simple as using Hydrocloric acid to a 1:1 volume.

This chemical reaction creates two harmless molecules: WATER AND SALT
NaOH + HCl → NaCl (salt) + H20 (water)

and according to a following study on the use of Hydrochloric acid injections

"CONCLUSIONS:
The 6 mol/l hydrochloric acid is an effective endogenetic protein coagulator"

I am not sure exactly what that would mean for a testosterone base injection. but the study does show that small amounts of HCL are SAFE for injections. So you could use it to neutralize the NaOH and not worry too much about using too much of it. Plus the presence of the water would just increase the reactions between NaOH and HCL

purified water
Enough said


So to my understading, Using water and low mol Hydrochloric acid would neutralize the gel to little more than testosterone, water and salt.

Then using an oil as a carrier for the testosterone you could simply boil off the water leaving testosterone in oil and salts. Provided that you did no COOK and destroy the test.

i also found a table of the melting points of various steroids on basskilleronline

Provided i could find the information for which steroid/test is in TESTOGEL this information could be used to find the right temperature to safely boil off the water and have to test bond with the carrier oil.




Please someone chip in with their thoughts. Ive been having a lot of fun with researching this and really want to know if my chemistry knowledge is up to par these days.

Ok i cant manage to post the links to my sources as i am new to the forum but i can post them privately to you if you PM me, or if my status changes anytime soon ill post them in the comments

Why? Test is dumb cheap to get in vials. You won't ever get the isopropyl myristate to seperate from the test and its basically a soap lol not something you would want to inject.

I'm not all that interested in trying this out and actually injecting it. more having fun with reading about chemistry.

Are you retarded?
Why so rude?

Its kinda rude but its what we all were thinking tbh.

Look bro, like yates84 said, Test vials are very cheap. The amount of money you'd have to spend to render this safe would cost more than buying a vial of Test. I understand wanting to use something you already have, but it's just not a good idea. Especially with Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrochloric Acid. Neither are safe for injection.

Doesn't anyone read? I am not interested in actually injecting this stuff.

I already have vials as well as gel, i am only interested in discussing the chemistry of it.

I dont need convincing to not do it or to take something else

Do you really want me to explain why all this could put you in the hospital and literally kill what ever muscle you injected it into? Not to mention the chemical trickery involved in making this even usable? We're talking like 500$ in equipment just to isolate out the test.

Plus, even after you do that, your going to have to calculate out ionic equivalents so that its isotonic to the surrounding fluid and you dont cause the surrounding cells/tissue to either shrivel up and die or swell up and burst.

If you want the long explanation I'll post it up, but short explanation, just forget it.

If you wanna do some chemistry at home, go get some 4 dhea powder, it's two reactions away from test base. And it only takes one more to add the cypionate ester. Pretty simple process, I can do it in my kitchen if so inclined.

I wouldn't mind hearing it. But if its too long to type you dont have to. I just find thinking about all this pretty interesting

Whats the process may i ask?
Is DHEA a controlled substance in australia

One oxidation step at carbon 3, dess-Martin oxidation will probably work. Then reduce carbon 17, need a stereoselective reagent for the alpha face of the molecule; use a methyl grignard and you have 17a-methyl testosterone.

Idk about dhea down there, it's otc here. You guys can't even get a pistol. So idk what kinda weird laws there are.


But I want a baby kangaroo :)

And I'm down to give you the long drawn out version. But it's gonna be a tall glass of water.
