About
A DHEA-related steroid precursor with hormonal activity, subject to EU restriction and anti-doping regulation due to its androgenic potential.
Acetyl benzoyloxy prasterone (3-beta-acetoxy-5-androsten-17-one benzoate) is a derivative of DHEA (prasterone) with both esterified DHEA and benzoyl groups. It has androgenic activity and is listed in EU CosIng with restriction under Annex III. Like other DHEA derivatives, it is monitored by anti-doping agencies due to its potential to influence hormone levels. Cosmetic use requires specific concentration limits and safety evaluation.
Known concerns
- Hormonal activity — DHEA derivative with androgenic potential
- EU Annex III restriction likely applies
- WADA monitored substance — anti-doping relevance
- Endocrine-disrupting potential at higher concentrations
