5α-Dihydronormethandrone (5α-DHNMT; developmental code nameRU-575), also known as17α-methyl-4,5α-dihydro-19-nortestosterone or as17α-methyl-5α-estran-17β-ol-3-one, is anandrogen/anabolic steroid and a likelymetabolite ofnormethandrone formed by5α-reductase.[1][2] Analogously to nandrolone and its 5α-reduced metabolite5α-dihydronandrolone, 5α-DHNMT shows reducedaffinity for theandrogen receptor relative to normethandrone.[1] Its affinity for the androgen receptor is specifically about 33 to 60% of that of normethandrone.[1]
