RU-2309, also known as18-methylmetribolone,δ9,11-17α,18-dimethyl-19-nortestosterone, or17α,18-dimethylestr-4,9,11-trien-17β-ol-3-one, is a17α-alkylatedandrogen/anabolic steroid (AAS) of the19-nortestosterone group which was never marketed.[1][2][3] It is the C18methyl or C13βethylderivative ofmetribolone.[1][2] The compound is closely related totetrahydrogestrinone (THG), which has the samechemical structure as RU-2309 except for possessing anethyl group at the C17α position instead of amethyl group.[4] Hence, it could also be referred to as17α-methyl-THG.[4] RU-2309 shows highaffinity for theandrogen,progesterone, andglucocorticoid receptors.[1][2][3]
