Norethandrolone (INN, BAN) (brand names Nilevar, Pronabol), also known as 17α-ethyl-19-nortestosterone or 17α-ethyl-19-norandrost-4-en-17β-ol-3-one, as well as ethylnandrolone or ethylnortestosterone, is a synthetic androgenic-anabolic steroid (AAS) and progestogen of the 17α-alkylated and 19-nortestosterone groups.[1] It was synthesized at G. D. Searle & Company in 1953 and was originally studied as a progestin, along with norethisterone and noretynodrel, but ultimately was not marketed as such.[2] In 1955, it was re-examined for testosterone-like activity and was found to have similar anabolic activity to testosterone but only one-sixteenth the androgenic potency.[2][3]
Norethandrolone was introduced in the United States as an AAS in 1965 under the trade name Nilevar[4] but was withdrawn from the market in the 1980s due to concerns of cholestatic jaundice.[3] Norethandrolone is now only marketed in Australia, France, and Switzerland, and as with all 17α-alkylated oral steroids, long-term use in high doses may result in elevated liver enzymes and consequently cirrhosis.[5] It is used in the treatment of muscle wasting,[3] patients with severe burns, after severe trauma, and for certain forms of aplastic anemia.
