Also known as: metenolone, metenolonum, metenolona, 1-methyl-17beta-hydroxy-5alpha-androst-1-en-3-one, 17beta-hydroxy-1-methyl-5alpha-androst-1-en-3-one
Methenolone is a neutral C20 steroid classified by ChEBI as a 3-hydroxy steroid with an androgen role. The WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology places metenolone under ATC A14AA04, within anabolic agents for systemic use, anabolic steroids, and androstan derivatives. Methenolone is listed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as a Schedule III anabolic steroid.
Source review pending. This descriptive profile is shown from the available source material as a best-effort educational reference. It has not passed the full verification bar and is not a dosing instruction, medical claim, or treatment recommendation.
Reflects preclinical/research literature context only. Not a medical claim, dosing instruction, or treatment recommendation.
This record refers to the parent methenolone moiety rather than a specific ester, salt, formulation, or dosage form. Authoritative classification sources identify methenolone as an androgenic-anabolic steroid. Administration, pharmacokinetic, solubility, and storage fields are left empty because reliable compound-specific authoritative support was not established for the parent compound in the sources reviewed.

CAS RN 153-00-4; PubChem CID 3037705; ChEBI CHEBI:135283; molecular formula C20H30O2; average molecular mass 302.458 g/mol; InChIKey ANJQEDFWRSLVBR-VHUDCFPWSA-N; UNII 9062ZT8Q5C; KEGG D08193; ATC A14AA04; DEA code 4000
Methenolone should be distinguished from its ester derivatives methenolone acetate and methenolone enanthate, which are separate chemical entities with different molecular formulas and molecular masses. No standardized scientific catalog package sizes were identified for the parent compound; commonSizes is therefore left empty.
