Norboletone
Norboletone
Norboletone (pronounced: nor-bo-le-tone) is an anabolic steroid that was developed in the late 1990s. It was intended to be used in the treatment of conditions such as muscle wasting and osteoporosis, but was never marketed due to concerns about its potential side effects.
Etymology
The term "Norboletone" is derived from the chemical structure of the compound. The prefix "nor" is used in organic chemistry to denote a molecule that is one carbon atom less than the parent compound. "Boletone" is a combination of "bole", which is derived from the Greek word for "throw", and "tone", which is derived from the Greek word for "stretch". This is likely a reference to the compound's intended use in promoting muscle growth and strength.
