As far as I know it's always been Chemyo.

Generally it acts as an anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant from what I understand.
I was GREATLY surprised to find out it has some anti-AR properties as well:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22172488
"Tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), a SOD mimetic, not only lowered cellular superoxide levels but also concomitantly attenuated AR transcriptional activity and AR target gene expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner, in the presence and absence of dihydrotestosterone, the major endogenous AR agonist. Inhibition of AR by Tempol was mediated, in large part, by its ability to decrease AR protein via increased degradation, in the absence of any inhibitory effects on other nuclear receptors."
Now that is really interesting.
