Norvinisterone (INN) (marketed as Neoprogestin and Nor-Progestelea by Syntex; former developmental code name SC-4641), also known as 17α-vinyl-19-nortestosterone (or vinylnortestosterone), is a steroidal progestin and anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) of the 19-nortestosterone group that is or has been used in Europe.[1][2][3][4][5] It was synthesized in 1953,[2] and was studied in humans by 1960.[6] It appears to be quite androgenic, with about one-third and one-fifth of the androgenic and anabolic activity, respectively, of nandrolone (19-nortestosterone) in animal bioassays.[7]
