	~~== History ==~~		[[File:Methylepitiostanol.svg\|thumb\|right\|Chemical structure of Methylepitiostanol]]

	Methylepitiostanol ~~was first described in the scientific literature in 1966~~. It ~~was developed by the Japanese pharmaceutical company~~ [[~~Shionogi~~]]~~. The company was looking for a drug that could be used to treat breast cancer,~~ and ~~they found that epiitiostanol had anti-estrogenic properties that made it effective for this purpose~~. Methylepitiostanol is ~~a methylated version~~ of ~~epiitiostanol, which makes it more bioavailable~~.		'''Methylepitiostanol''' is a synthetic [[anabolic steroid]] that is derived from [[epitiostanol]]. It is known for its use in enhancing [[muscle growth]] and improving [[athletic performance]]. Methylepitiostanol is often marketed under various brand names and is sometimes referred to as "[[Epistane]]" in the context of [[bodybuilding]].

	== ~~Uses~~ ==		== Chemical Properties ==

	Methylepitiostanol is ~~used by bodybuilders and other athletes for its muscle~~-~~building properties. It is marketed as a dietary supplement~~, ~~but~~ it ~~is actually~~ a ~~prohormone~~. This ~~means that~~ it ~~is converted into an active steroid in the body~~. The ~~steroid that~~ methylepitiostanol ~~is converted into is desoxymethyltestosterone~~, which is a ~~potent anabolic steroid~~.		Methylepitiostanol is a [[17_-alkylated]] derivative of epitiostanol, which means it has been modified to include a [[methyl group]] at the 17th carbon position. This modification increases its [[oral bioavailability]], allowing it to be effective when taken by mouth. The chemical structure of methylepitiostanol includes a [[sulfur]] atom, which is a characteristic feature of its parent compound, epitiostanol.

	== ~~Side Effects~~ ==		== Mechanism of Action ==

	~~Like all~~ anabolic ~~steroids~~, methylepitiostanol can ~~have serious~~ side effects. ~~These can include liver damage, cardiovascular problems,~~ and ~~changes in mood~~ and ~~behavior~~. It can ~~also cause a decrease in the body's natural production of testosterone~~, ~~which can lead to a condition known as~~ [[~~hypogonadism~~]].		As an anabolic steroid, methylepitiostanol works by binding to [[androgen receptors]] in the body. This binding stimulates [[protein synthesis]] and promotes the growth of [[skeletal muscle]] tissue. The compound also has anti-estrogenic properties, which means it can inhibit the conversion of [[testosterone]] to [[estrogen]], reducing the risk of estrogen-related side effects such as [[gynecomastia]].

			== Uses and Effects ==

			Methylepitiostanol is primarily used by athletes and bodybuilders to increase [[muscle mass]] and strength. It is known for producing [[lean muscle]] gains with minimal water retention. Users often report increased [[muscle hardness]] and improved [[vascularity]]. However, like other anabolic steroids, methylepitiostanol can have significant side effects, including [[liver toxicity]], [[hormonal imbalances]], and [[cardiovascular issues]].

	== Legal Status ==		== Legal Status ==

	In many ~~countries~~, ~~including the United States, methylepitiostanol~~ is classified as a controlled substance~~. This means that it is illegal~~ to ~~sell or possess without a prescription~~. ~~Despite this~~, it is ~~still widely available on~~ the ~~internet and in some health food stores~~.		The legal status of methylepitiostanol varies by country. In many places, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and health risks. In the [[United States]], methylepitiostanol is considered a [[Schedule III controlled substance]] under the [[Anabolic Steroid Control Act]].

'''Methylepitiostanol''' is an [[anabolic steroid]] and [[prohormone]] that is marketed as a [[dietary supplement]]. It is a derivative of [[epitiostanol]], which is a [[steroid]] that has been used to treat [[breast cancer]]. Methylepitiostanol is also known as [[Epistane]], and it is used by bodybuilders for its muscle-building properties.

== History ==

Methylepitiostanol was first described in the scientific literature in 1966. It was developed by the Japanese pharmaceutical company [[Shionogi]]. The company was looking for a drug that could be used to treat breast cancer, and they found that epiitiostanol had anti-estrogenic properties that made it effective for this purpose. Methylepitiostanol is a methylated version of epiitiostanol, which makes it more bioavailable.

== Uses ==

Methylepitiostanol is used by bodybuilders and other athletes for its muscle-building properties. It is marketed as a dietary supplement, but it is actually a prohormone. This means that it is converted into an active steroid in the body. The steroid that methylepitiostanol is converted into is desoxymethyltestosterone, which is a potent anabolic steroid.
