Mestanolone Usage And Synthesis
Description	Mestanolone is an orally active anabolic-androgenic steroid and the 17α-methylated derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is an endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone. It is capable of increasing testosterone benefit, suppressing estrogen effect, leaning muscle tissue, increasing strength as well as improving drive and focus. It is mainly used for the treatment of male hypogonadism and decreased sperm infertility.
Chemical Properties	White Solid
Uses	Anabolic steroid. Controlled substance.
Purification Methods	Dissolve mestanolone in Et2O, wash it with N NaOH, H2O, dry it (Na2SO4), evaporate and recrystallise it from EtOAc. The semicarbazone has m 235-236o (from EtOH). [Ruzicka et al. Helv Chim Acta 18 1487 1935.]
