Metabolite Identification
Common NameFormebolone
DescriptionFormebolone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as androgens and derivatives. These are 3-hydroxylated C19 steroid hormones. They are known to favor the development of masculine characteristics. They also show profound effects on scalp and body hair in humans. Thus, formebolone is considered to be a steroid. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Formebolone.
