Methandriol (INN ) (brand names Crestabolic, Cytobolin, Diandren, Madiol, Stenediol, Mestenediol), also known as methylandrostenediol, as well as 17α-methylandrost-5-ene-3β,17β-diol, is a synthetic, orally active androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) which was developed by Organon and is used in both oral and injectable (as methandriol dipropionate, methandriol propionate, or methandriol bisenanthoyl acetate) formulations.[1][2] It is a 17α-alkylated AAS and the 17α-methylated derivative of the endogenous androgen prohormone androstenediol.[1][2]
History
Methandriol was first synthesized in 1935 along with methyltestosterone and mestanolone.[3][4]
