Description
Drostanolone
Drostanolone, or dromostanolone, is an anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) of the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) group which was never marketed.[1][2][3] An androgen ester prodrug of drostanolone, drostanolone propionate, was formerly used in the treatment of breast cancer in women under brand names such as Drolban, Masteril, and Masteron.[1][2][3][4] This ester has also been used non-medically for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes.[3]

Like other AAS, drostanolone is an agonist of the androgen receptor (AR).[3] It is not a substrate for 5α-reductase and is a poor substrate for 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD), and therefore shows a high ratio of anabolic to androgenic activity.[3] As a DHT derivative, drostanolone is not a substrate for aromatase and hence cannot be aromatized into estrogenic metabolites.[3] While no data are available on the progestogenic activity of drostanolone, it is thought to have low or no such activity similarly to other DHT derivatives.[3] Since the drug is not 17α-alkylated, it is not known to cause hepatotoxicity.[3]
Chemistry[edit]
Drostanolone, also known as 2α-methyl-5α-dihydrotestosterone (2α-methyl-DHT) or as 2α-methyl-5α-androstan-17β-ol-3-one, is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of DHT.[1][2][3] It is specifically DHT with a methyl group at the C2α position.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
Drostanolone and its ester drostanolone propionate were first described in 1959.[3][5] Drostanolone propionate was first introduced for medical use in 1961.[6]
Society and culture[edit]
Generic names[edit]
Drostanolone is the generic name of the drug and its INN, BAN, and DCF.[1][2] It has also been referred to as dromostanolone.[1][2]
Legal status[edit]
Drostanolone, along with other AAS, is a schedule III controlled substance in the United States under the Controlled Substances Act.[7]

Effect of drostanolone propionate on the binding of oestradiol and dihydrotestosterone by normal and malignant target tissues
Abstract
The influence of drostanolone propionate, an anticancer agent, was tested on the binding of 17 β-oestradiol and dihydrotestosterone to specific receptor proteins in tissue of normal and neoplastic target organs. Steroid binding capacity was measured by agar gel electrophoresis of tissue extracts.
Drostanolone was found to compete with androgen binding sites but not with oestrogen receptors. Therefore it is unlikely that the growth inhibitory effect of drostanolone propionate in human breast cancer is mediated through interaction with oestradiol binding proteins as suggested earlier by other authors.
Drostanolone is a DEA Schedule III controlled substance. Substances in the DEA Schedule III have a potential for abuse less than substances in Schedules I or II and abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence.
Drostanolone (also known as dromostanolone) is a potent synthetic androgenic anabolic steroid similar to testosterone. Drostanolone is indicated in postmenopausal women with recurrent breast cancer, in a combined hormone therapy.
Dromostanolone is a synthetic anabolic steroid related to dihydrotestosterone that has antiestrogenic effects. Dromostanolone inhibits the growth of estrogen receptor-presenting breast cancers; its virilizing effects limit its clinical usefulness. (NCI04)

2. SUMMARY
2.1 Main risks and target organs
There is no serious risk from acute poisoning, but
chronic use can cause harm. The main risks are those of
excessive androgens: menstrual irregularities and
virilization in women and impotence, premature
cardiovascular disease and prostatic hypertrophy in men.
Both men and women can suffer liver damage with oral
anabolic steroids containing a substituted 17-alpha-carbon.
Psychiatric changes can occur during use or after
cessation of these agents.
2.2 Summary of clinical effects
Acute overdosage can produce nausea and gastrointestinal
upset. Chronic usage is thought to cause an increase in
muscle bulk, and can cause an exageration of male
characteristics and effects related to male hormones.
Anabolic steroids can influence sexual function. They can
also cause cardiovascular and hepatic damage. Acne and male-
pattern baldness occur in both sexes; irregular menses,
atrophy of the breasts, and clitoromegaly in women; and
testicular atrophy and prostatic hypertrophy in men.
2.3 Diagnosis
The diagnosis depends on a history of use of oral or
injected anabolic steroids, together with signs of increased
muscle bulk, commonly seen in "body-builders". Biochemical
tests of liver function are often abnormal in patients who
take excessive doses of oral anabolic steroids.
Laboratory analyses of urinary anabolic steroids and their
metabolites can be helpful in detecting covert use of these
drugs.
2.4 First aid measures and management principles
Supportive care is the only treatment necessary or
appropriate for acute intoxication. Chronic (ab)users can be
very reluctant to cease abuse, and may require professional
help as with other drug misuse.
3. PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
3.1 Origin of the substance
Naturally-occuring anabolic steroids are synthesised in
the testis, ovary and adrenal gland from cholesterol via
pregnenolone. Synthetic anabolic steroids are based on the
principal male hormone testosterone, modified in one of three
ways:
alkylation of the 17-carbon
esterification of the 17-OH group
modification of the steroid nucleus
(Murad & Haynes, 1985).

4.1.2 Description
The only legitimate therapeutic indications for
anabolic steroids are:
(a) replacement of male sex steroids in men who have
androgen deficiency, for example as a result of loss
of both testes
(b) the treatment of certain rare forms of aplastic
anaemia which are or may be responsive to anabolic
androgens.
(ABPI Data Sheet Compendium, 1993)
(c) the drugs have been used in certain countries to
counteract catabolic states, for example after major
trauma.

4.2.1 Adults
4.2.2 Children
Not applicable
4.3 Contraindications
Known or suspected cancer of the prostate or (in men)
breast.
Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Known cardiovascular disease is a relative contraindication.
5. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
5.1 Oral
Anabolic steroids can be absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract, but many compounds undergo such
extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver that they are
inactive. Those compounds in which substitution of the 17-
carbon protects the compound from the rapid hepatic
metabolism are active orally (Murad and Haynes, 1985).
There are preparations of testosterone that can be taken
sublingually.
5.2 Inhalation
Not relevant
5.3 Dermal
No data available
5.4 Eye
Not relevant
5.5 Parenteral
Intramuscular or deep subcutaneous injection is the
principal route of administration of all the anabolic
steroids except the 17-alpha-substituted steroids which are
active orally.
5.6 Other
Not relevant
6. KINETICS
6.1 Absorption by route of exposure
The absorption after oral dosing is rapid for
testosterone and probably for other anabolic steroids, but
there is extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism for all
anabolic steroids except those that are substituted at the
17-alpha position.
The rate of absorption from subcutaneous or intramuscular
depots depends on the product and its formulation. Absorption
is slow for the lipid-soluble esters such as the cypionate or
enanthate, and for oily suspensions.
6.2 Distribution by route of exposure
The anabolic steroids are highly protein bound, and is
carried in plasma by a specific protein called sex-hormone
binding globulin.
6.3 Biological half-life by route of exposure
The metabolism of absorbed drug is rapid, and the
elimination half-life from plasma is very short. The duration
of the biological effects is therefore determined almost
entirely by the rate of absorption from subcutaneous or
intramuscular depots, and on the de-esterification which
precedes it (Wilson, 1992).
6.4 Metabolism
Free (de-esterified) anabolic androgens are metabolized
by hepatic mixed function oxidases (Wilson, 1992).
6.5 Elimination by route of exposure
After administration of radiolabelled testosterone,
about 90% of the radioactivity appears in the urine, and 6%
in the faeces; there is some enterohepatic recirculation
(Wilson, 1992).
7. PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY
7.1 Mode of action
7.1.1 Toxicodynamics
The toxic effects are an exaggeration of the
normal pharmacological effects.
7.1.2 Pharmacodynamics
Anabolic steroids bind to specific receptors
present especially in reproductive tissue, muscle and
fat (Mooradian & Morley, 1987). The anabolic steroids
reduce nitrogen excretion from tissue breakdown in
androgen deficient men. They are also responsible for
normal male sexual differentiation. The ratio of
anabolic ("body-building") effects to androgenic
(virilizing) effects may differ among the members of
the class, but in practice all agents possess both
properties to some degree. There is no clear evidence
that anabolic steroids enhance overall athletic
performance (Elashoff et al, 1991).
7.2 Toxicity

7.2.1.2 Children
No data available.
7.2.2 Relevant animal data
No data available.
7.2.3 Relevant in vitro data
No data
7.3 Carcinogenicity
Anabolic steroids may be carcinogenic. They can
stimulate growth of sex-hormone dependent tissue, primarily
the prostate gland in men. Precocious prostatic cancer has
been described after long-term anabolic steroid abuse(Roberts
& Essenhigh, 1986). Cases where hepatic cancers have been
associated with anabolic steroid abuse have been reported
(Overly et al, 1984).
7.4 Teratogenicity
Androgen ingestion by a pregnant mother can cause
virilization of a female fetus (Dewhurst & Gordon,
1984).
7.5 Mutagenicity
No data available.
7.6 Interactions
No data available.
7.7 Main adverse effects
The adverse effects of anabolic steroids include weight
gain, fluid retention, and abnormal liver function as
measured by biochemical tests. Administration to children can
cause premature closure of the epiphyses. Men can develop
impotence and azoospermia. Women are at risk of
virilization.

Hepatic damage, manifest as derangement of
biochemical tests of liver function and sometimes
severe enough to cause jaundice; virilization in
women; prostatic hypertrophy, impotence and
azoospermia in men; acne, abnormal lipids, premature
cardiovascular disease (including stroke and
myocardial infarction), abnormal glucose tolerance,
and muscular hypertrophy in both sexes; psychiatric
disturbances can occur during or after prolonged

9.3 Course, prognosis, cause of death
Patients with symptoms of acute poisoning are expected
to recover rapidly. Patients who persistently abuse high
doses of anabolic steroids are at risk of death from
premature heart disease or cancer, especially prostatic
cancer. Non-fatal but long-lasting effects include voice
changes in women and fusion of the epiphyses in children.
Other effects are reversible over weeks or months.
9.4 Systematic description of clinical effects
9.4.1 Cardiovascular
Chronic ingestion of high doses of anabolic
steroids can cause elevations in blood pressure, left
ventricular hypertrophy and premature coronary artery
disease (McKillop et al., 1986; Bowman, 1990; McNutt
et al., 1988).
9.4.2 Respiratory
Not reported
9.4.3 Neurological
9.4.3.1 Central nervous system
Stroke has been described in a young
anabolic steroid abuser (Frankle et al.,
1988).
Pope & Katz (1988) described mania and
psychotic symptoms of hallucination and
delusion in anabolic steroid abusers. They
also described depression after withdrawal
from anabolic steroids. There is also
considerable debate about the effects of
anabolic steroids on aggressive behaviour
(Schulte et al., 1993) and on criminal
behaviour (Dalby, 1992). Mood swings were
significantly more common in normal
volunteers during the active phase of a trial
comparing methyltestosterone with placebo (Su
et al., 1993).

No data available
9.4.4 Gastrointestinal
Acute ingestion of large doses can cause nausea
and gastrointestinal upset.
9.4.5 Hepatic
Orally active (17-alpha substituted) anabolic
steroids can cause abnormalities of hepatic function,
manifest as abnormally elevated hepatic enzyme
activity in biochemical tests of liver function,and
sometimes as overt jaundice.
The histological abnormality of peliosis hepatis has
been associated with anabolic steroid use (Soe et al.,
1992).
Angiosarcoma (Falk et al, 1979) and a case of
hepatocellular carcinoma in an anabolic steroid user
has been reported (Overly et al., 1984).
9.4.6 Urinary
9.4.6.1 Renal
Not reported
9.4.6.2 Other
Men who take large doses of anabolic
steroids can develop prostatic hypertrophy.
Prostatic carcinoma has been described in
young men who have abused anabolic steroids
(Roberts & Essenhigh, 1986).
9.4.7 Endocrine and reproductive systems
Small doses of anabolic steroids are said to
increase libido, but larger doses lead to azoospermia
and impotence. Testicular atrophy is a common clinical
feature of long-term abuse of anabolic steroids, and
gynaecomastia can occur (Martikainen et al., 1986;
Schurmeyer et al., 1984; Spano & Ryan, 1984).
Women develop signs of virilism, with increased facial
hair, male pattern baldness, acne, deepening of the
voice, irregular menses and clitoral enlargement
(Malarkey et al., 1991; Strauss et al., 1984).
9.4.8 Dermatological
Acne occurs in both male and female anabolic
steroids abusers. Women can develop signs of
virilism, with increased facial hair and male pattern
baldness.
9.4.9 Eye, ear, nose, throat: local effects
Changes in the larynx in women caused by
anabolic steroids can result in a hoarse, deep voice.
The changes are irreversible.

10. MANAGEMENT
10.1 General principles
The management of acute overdosage consists of
supportive treatment, with fluid replacement if vomiting is
severe. Chronic abuse should be discouraged, and
psychological support may be needed as in the treatment of
other drug abuse. The possibility of clinically important
depression after cessation of usage should be borne in
mind.

11. ILLUSTRATIVE CASES
11.1 Case reports from literature
A 38-year old man presented with acute urinary
retention, and was found to have carcinoma of the prostate.
He had taken anabolic steroids for many years, and worked as
a "strong-man" (Roberts and Essenhigh, 1986).
A 22-year old male world-class weight lifter developed severe
chest pain awaking him from sleep, and was shown to have
myocardial infarction. For six weeks before, he had been
taking high doses of oral and injected anabolic steroids.
Total serum cholesterol was 596 mg/dL (HDL 14 mg/dL, LDL 513
mg/dL) (McNutt et al., 1988). Values of total cholesterol
concentration above 200 mg/dL are considered undesirable.
A 22-year old body builder took two eight-week courses of
anabolic steroids. He became severely depressed after the
second course, and when the depression gradually receded, he
had prominent paranoid and religious delusions (Pope and
Katz, 1987).
A 19-year old American college footballer took intramuscular
testosterone and oral methandrostenolone over 4 months. He
became increasingly aggressive with his wife and child. After
he severely injured the child, he ceased using anabolic
steroids, and his violence and aggression resolved within 2
months (Schulte et al, 1993).
12. Additional information
12.1 Specific preventive measures
Anabolic steroid abuse amongst athletes, weight
lifters, body builders and others is now apparently common at
all levels of these sports. Not all abusers are competitive
sportsmen.
There is therefore scope for a public health campaign, for
example, based on gymnasia, to emphasize the dangers of
anabolic steroid abuse and to support those who wish to stop
using the drugs.
