Epitiostanol

An anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone that also blocks the oestrogen receptor: described in 1965, it has been used in Japan since 1977, by injection, against breast cancer. Its oral prodrug, mepitiostane, is also used for anaemia due to kidney failure. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?In its structure a sulphur atom bridges two carbons of the steroid's A ring: this is the origin of the chemical prefix 'epithio' that gives the molecule its name.
