Methyltestosterone 3-hexyl ether (brand names Androgénol, Enoltestovis, Enoltestovister), or 17α-methyltestosterone 3-hexyl enol ether, also known as 17α-methylandrost-3,5-dien-17β-ol-3-one 3-hexyl ether, is a
synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid
Anabolic steroids, also known more properly as anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS), are steroidal androgens that include natural androgens like testosterone as well as synthetic androgens that are structurally related and have similar effects t ...
and an
androgen ether
An androgen or anabolic steroid ester is an ester of an androgen/ anabolic steroid (AAS) such as the natural testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or the synthetic nandrolone (19-nortestosterone). Esterification renders AAS into metabolism-res ...
