By dissolving Testosterone or any of its esters in
hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin

By doing so, a WAY better absoption than Andriol is achieved
(8-13 TIMES better absoption!)
Patent EP2925369A1 - Aqueous oral solutions of steroid hormones and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin with optimised bioavailability


Example 9 - Comparative pharmacokinetic tests (Testosterone)

The solutions described in example 8 were used in a comparative clinical study of pharmacokinetics (Figura 8 Tables 6-8). Three healthy female subjects , non or ex-smokers, with an age of between 18 and 75 years received, according to a crossover design, a single dose of 26 mg of Testosterone dissolved in the aforementioned solution or 40 mg of Testosterone undecanoate corresponding to 25.26 mg of Testosterone, in soft capsules (reference formulation on the market, Andriol). Tables 6-8 shows the results of the pharmacokinetics parameters obtained by the clinical study: Table 6 and 7 refer to the Testosterone formulations, object of the present patent, with respectively a molar ratio between HP CD and Testosterone of 2: 1 and 3: 1, whereas Table 8 refers to the commercial reference formulation (Andriol).

The results reported in Tables 6 and 7 show that the present composition generates an overall exposure per unit dose (AUC/dose) 13-fold ca. higher than that obtained with the Reference formulation (Table 8) ***(Andriol)*** in the case of a complex with molar ratio HPBCD:Tst 2: 1 and of 8 times higher than that obtained with the Reference formulation (Table 8) in the case of a complex with molar ratio HPBCD:Tst 3: 1. Similarly the peak concentrations per unit dose (Cmax/Dose) are, for both complex solutions, higher than that obtained with the reference formulation. Moreover, the peak time (tmax) achieved with the HPBCD:Tst solutions is substantially lower as compared to that of the Reference formulation. The results confirm those obtained in Experiment 5 (figures 5 and 6) and shown that the HPBCD:Tst complexes maintain a remarkable bioavailability despite being likely subject to the hepatic first-pass effect. A dose-effective treatment of Testosterone complexes with HP CD via the oral route (more patient-friendly than e.g. complexes with HPβCD via the oral route (more patient- friendly than e.g. the sublingual/ buccal/ nasal route) is therefore obtained. As a further advantage, the composition of the invention makes it possible to significantly reduce the inter-individual variability of the plasma levels, expressed in the table by the CV% of AUC and Cmax, with respect to the commercial formulation of Table 8.



Just for information purposes as it seems to be an active patent about it.
(idk if they would give a shit about patents as Test is already a controlled substance in most countries).
 
We can compare this Andriol absorption study side-by-side
The effect of food composition on serum testosterone levels after oral administration of Andriol® Testocaps®
(as expected fatty meals improve Andriol absorption)

In the Andriol study they used 80 mg Test.U and nmol/L units while the patent tests used 40 mg T.U and pg/mL units.

The highest Cmax (maximum concentration in blood) in the Andriol study, with the fattiest meal was 382 nmol/l
using the Nebido units converter
Testosterone Conversion - Free tool to converting the testosterone level
that's 11.54 ng/mL = 1154 ng/dL = 11540pg/mL Remember that was with 80 mg Andriol

You can see that the patent avarage Cmax was 23968.8pg/mL more than twice high Cmax with half the dose! (just 40 mg)!

 
Solution 5: solution with molar ratio HPfiCD: Testosterone 3:1

4.6613 g of I ^CD (content of unsubstituted β cyclodextrin present in the HP CD lower than 0.3%)
were dissolved in 6.0070 g of water under magnetic stirring and,
subsequently 0.3010 g of Testosterone were added under stirring.
When the dissolution was obtained 3.2041 g of water were added.

The concentration of Testosterone was of 0.0212 g/g.

Since 4.6613 g of Cyclodextrin are needed for 0.3010 g of Testosterone,
we need to find a cheaper Cyclodextrin supplier than Cayman chemical.

We need
hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin

The first Google search results give me pricey chemicals like Sigma-Aldrich, Alfa Aesar, Fisher scientific, lab depot

Whenever I have time I'll both read the patent carefully to see if cheaper cyclodextrins can also be used, and to get a cheap supplier for it.
