5,16-AD-3bOL-17C≡N ... My Observations with this unexplored compound...

I would like to share my experience with a very interesting (yet ultimately disappointing) compound I have tested.
5,16-androstadien-3beta-hydroxy-17-cyano (AD3bOL17C≡N)
In a nutshell, this compound is structurally similar to Molecule “B†or Androstadienone, and a yet unexplored class of compounds with strong electronegative groups at C-17. It is best compared to, well, nothing out there.. It’s a radical new one, but it's effects are unlike any other compound that exerts effects by odor - classical pheromone effect.
So I mixed it in solution at 1000 PPM ethanol (50 mcg / drop), with magnetic stirring, and left it in the lab refrigerator for 3 days. Tonight, I have taken a few whiffs of the solution, and was rather ... starstruck? I cannot compare it to any pheromone that I have ever come across. Here is a detailed observation of results:
1st pass: fast whiff – strong ‘pheromone like’ smell, yet the odor seemed somehow synthetic and slightly dank. Dark and mysterious odor. The first effect I noticed was visual – lights seemed more vivid, and details of objects were magnified. Slight mood elevation, followed by slight anxiety (perhaps a natural reaction to something unknown and completely unexplored).
2nd pass: wafted odor towards nose for 2 seconds. Immediately noticed a massive increase in visual acuity. Details seemed many times more crisp and clear – as if my visual circuits suddenly became stimulated, and suddenly processed many times the usual quantity of visual data.
Details were observed with laser-like precision. Light sources intensified, and a 20 watt florescent light bulb appeared very bright – almost like looking at the North Star through the lens of a powerful telescope.
The visual effects are quite amazing. The best thing I can compare it to, for lack of a better comparison: those of you who have experienced MDMA, may know of the massive increase in visual clarity and perception of details which is felt just before the effects come on. Very powerful compound in this way, and by way of odor alone!
Other effects noticed were more moderate mood elevation, which quickly tapered off to an anxiety effect, with a generally uneasy feeling: I wanted it to go away – It is more dysphoric (unpleasant) overall than euphoric (pleasant). I also felt the potential for this compound to cause headache, as I felt as if I was on the verge of having one, and still feel a slight pressure in my head.
Effects on women unknown.
I am not sure yet if this will be released into the molecule testing project – even if it is included, I do not believe this compound will ever be sold or provided by Alpha Dream (it is powerfully unbalanced and not useful), but it may be interesting to observe and document the effects, for the purpose of advancement of pheromone technology and development of literature for future Structure Activity Relationship considerations.
If it is among those tested it will be for advanced testers only, with the understanding that the solution will not contact the skin (applied to garments only).
While this compound will probably never make it into any pheromone product, it does show us that compounds with strongly electronegative groups at c-16, or c-17 have predominantly visual effects. Other compounds with this characteristic will be explored in the future, and hopefully they will have effects which can be more in line with a useful pheromone product : )
Interestingly enough, androstatrione more or less falls into this class of compounds, and it has been reported to have ‘beautifying’ effects… Interesting, indeed…
