Metribolone (INN) (developmental code names R-1881 (or RU-1881), NSC-92858), also known as methyltrienolone (or 17α-methyltrenbolone), as well as 17α-methyl-19-nor-Δ9,11-testosterone or 17α-methyl-19-norandrosta-4,9,11-triene-17β-ol-3-one, is a highly potent, orally active, non-aromatizable anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS)[1] of the 19-nortestosterone and 17α-alkylated groups which was never marketed for clinical use but has been used in scientific research as a photoaffinity label for the androgen receptor (AR) and in AR ligand binding assays.[2] It is the 17α-methylated derivative of trenbolone (trienolone), and is a similarly potent AAS, but has a high potential for hepatotoxicity similarly to other 17α-alkylated AAS.[3] Metribolone binds with high affinity not only to the AR but also to the progesterone receptor (PR), and binds to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) as well.[4][5] It is said to be the most potent AAS.[6]
Eleven members of the Greek national weightlifting team and 4 Greek track and field athletes tested positive with methyltrienolone prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.[7]
