Dimethandrolone buciclate, or dimethandrolone bucyclate, also known as 7α,11β-dimethyl-19-nortestosterone 17β-buciclate, is a synthetic anabolic–androgenic steroid and a derivative of nandrolone which was developed by the Contraceptive Development Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and has not been marketed at this time. It is an androgen ester – specifically, the C17β buciclate ester of dimethandrolone – and acts as a prodrug of dimethandrolone in the body.
