Methylestrenolone is a synthetic, orally active anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) derived from 17α-methylation of nandrolone. It was developed in the 1960s for potential use as a performance-enhancing substance, but it was never marketed or approved for medical use due to safety concerns and high hepatotoxicity.
No published human pharmacokinetic studies available; the following parameters are estimated based on chemical similarity to other 17α-methylated anabolic steroids such as methyltestosterone.
