Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Anordiol is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of testosterone. It is more specifically a derivative of ethisterone (17α-ethynyltestosterone), with the ethynyl group replaced by an ethyl group and the hydroxyl group at the C3 position replaced by a hydrogen atom.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Pharmacodynamics[edit | edit source]
As an AAS, anordiol is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It has strong anabolic effects and weak androgenic effects, which give it a mild side effect profile and make it especially suitable for use in women.

The pharmacokinetics of anordiol have not been studied in detail.
History[edit | edit source]
