Mibolerone, also known as dimethylnortestosterone (DMNT) and sold under the brand names Cheque Drops and Matenon, is a synthetic, orally active, and extremely potent anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and a 17α-alkylated nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) derivative which was marketed by Upjohn for use as a veterinary drug.
Oxandrolone is an androgen and synthetic anabolic steroid (AAS) medication to help promote weight gain in various situations, to help offset protein catabolism caused by long-term corticosteroid therapy, to support recovery from severe burns, to treat bone pain associated with osteoporosis, to aid in the development of girls with Turner syndrome, and for other indications.
The drug is a prodrug of testosterone, the biological ligand of the androgen receptor (AR) and hence is an androgen and anabolic steroid. [ 16 ] [ 11 ] It has strong androgenic effects and moderate anabolic effects, which make it useful for producing masculinization and suitable for androgen replacement therapy . [ 11 ]
Metandienone, also known as 17α-methyl-δ 1-testosterone or as 17α-methylandrost-1,4-dien-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a 17α-alkylated derivative of testosterone. [7] It is a modification of testosterone with a methyl group at the C17α position and an additional double bond between the C1 and C2 positions. [ 7 ]
The medication is a naturally occurring androgen and anabolic steroid and hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and DHT. [2] [6] Androstanolone was discovered in 1935 and was introduced for medical use in 1953. [2] [7] [8] [9] It is used mostly in France and Belgium.
Anabolic steroids are controlled substances in many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands (NL), the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (U.S.). The Olympics, [28] the National Basketball Association, [29] the National Hockey League, [30] and the National Football League also ban the use of anabolic ...
The drug is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid and hence is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). [ 6 ] [ 7 ] It has strong anabolic effects and moderate androgenic effects, weak estrogenic effects, and no risk of liver damage .
Its introduction into commerce may have represented an attempted circumvention of the U.S. Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990 (along with its 2004 revision), since the law is, in part, drug-specific; [3] methasterone, as is the case with many designer steroids, was not declared a Schedule III class anabolic steroid in that act because it was ...
