Description
Chemical structure: 17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-2-oxa-5α-androstan-3-one Oxandrolone is an oral anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone. lt was designed to have a very strong separation of anabolic and androgenic effect, and no significant estrogenic or progestational activity. Oxandrolone has a modification at carbon atom number two whereby that second carbon is replaced with an oxygen atom, hence the ox prefix in the name Oxandrolone. This substitution of a carbon atom for an oxygen atom is also what is believed to increase the anabolic capability of Oxandrolone to great degrees over its parent hormone Dihydrotestosterone.
