Compound Monograph
Mesabolone
Mesabolone is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid, not a naturally occurring phytochemical.
Where Does It Come From?
Mesabolone is an anabolic-androgenic steroid (synthetic). It is flagged as moderately toxic.
Research & Evidence
Mesabolone is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid related to testosterone, developed as a long-acting ether derivative. Despite the source record’s plant (“PHYTO”) classification and “discorhabdin” tag, it is not a natural product or a discorhabdin alkaloid — it is a man-made steroid and is included here only to note that mislabelling. It has no role as a botanical constituent.
Toxicity & Safety
As with anabolic-androgenic steroids generally, use carries the risks associated with that drug class, including hormonal, cardiovascular and hepatic effects. It is not a dietary or herbal compound and is not intended for the uses covered elsewhere on this site.
