I mixed up the bottles.
When Patrick Arnold was talking about the 6-DMT, he also mentioned that the chemical nomenclature was all 'phucked up'. The old bottle says 17-akyl-delta, something.......when I saw that a long time ago I remember thinking that it was very odd how you'd name an ingredient (they messed up anyways).
Here is an segment about methylating an ATD:
Anyway, concerning methylated aromatase inhibitors. i have said this before, making a 17alpha-methyl derivative of an aromatase inhibitor makes no sense.
look at all the steroidal aromatse inhibitors on the market. They are all 17-keto compounds. This is for a reason. 17-keto steroids all have a higher affinity for the aromatase enzyme than 17beta-hydroxyl compounds (this is totally opposite than it is for the androgen receptor)
when you make a 17alpha-methyl, 17beta-hydroxyl (as ALRI is doing there) you prevent the formation of a 17-ketone derivative. You force the compound to stay a 17beta-hydroxyl. This makes no sense. you WANT the compound to be a 17-ketone and they are forcing it to stay as a much weaker 17beta-hydroxyl
