Stenbolone, also known as 2-methyl-δ1-4,5α-dihydrotestosterone (2-methyl-δ1-DHT) or as 2-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of DHT.[1][3] It is closely related structurally to drostanolone (2-methyl-DHT), 1-testosterone1-DHT), and methylstenbolone (17α-methylstenbolone).[5]
