Silandrone (INN, USAN) (developmental code names SC-16148, NSC-95147), also known as testosterone 17β-trimethylsilyl ether or 17β-trimethylsilyltestosterone, as well as 17β-(trimethylsiloxy)androst-4-en-3-one, is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) and an androgen ether – specifically, the 17β-trimethylsilyl ether of testosterone – which was developed by the G. D. Searle & Company in the 1960s but was never marketed.[1] It has a very long duration of action when given via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection as well as, notably, significantly greater potency than that of testosterone propionate.[2][3] In addition, it is notable that silandrone, unlike testosterone and most esters of testosterone like testosterone propionate, is orally active.[4]
