List of androgens and anabolic steroids
...
 | This article needs attention from an expert in Chemicals. The specific problem is: chemical names need verification and correction as necessary. (September 2016) |
This is a list of androgens/anabolic steroids (AAS) or testosterone derivatives. Androgen esters are mostly not included in this list. The major classes of testosterone derivatives include the following (as well as combinations thereof):
- Testosterone derivatives: direct derivatives of testosterone not falling into the groups below
- 4,5α-Reduced/dihydrogenated testosterone derivatives: dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derivatives
- 19-Demethylated testosterone derivatives: 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone) derivatives
- 17α-Alkylated testosterone derivatives: methyltestosterone and ethyltestosterone derivatives
- 17α-Ethynylated/vinylated testosterone derivatives: ethynyltestosterone (ethisterone) and vinyltestosterone derivatives
The last group consists of progestins with mostly only very weak androgenic/anabolic activity.
This article pertains to steroidal androgens; nonsteroidal androgens like the selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) andarine and enobosarm (ostarine) are not included here.
