Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of steroid hormones. It serves in the development of anabolic agents and hormonal therapies due to its structural stability and slow release properties. Commonly found in research settings for studying androgen receptor activity and metabolic pathways. Also utilized in the formulation of long-acting injectable steroids, where its diheptanoate esterification allows for prolonged half-life and sustained delivery in the body.
