Documented Uses

• Obtained by microbial transformation of progesterone, Reichstein's substance S, or testosterone.
• Fried et al, US 2744120 (1956 to Olin Mathieson)
• While data specific to testolactone were not available(SRC, 2005), the literature suggests that some pharmaceutically active compounds originating from human and veterinary therapy are not eliminated completely in municipal sewage treatment plants and are therefore discharged into receiving waters(1). Wastewater treatment processes often were not designed to remove them from the effluent(2). Selected organic waste compounds may be degrading to new and more persistent compounds that may be released instead of or in
• This is a controlled substance (anabolic steroid)... .
• Synthetic analogs of androgens have been used by professional, as well as amateur, athletes for possible performance enhancement.
• Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004. Public Law 108-358 (October 22, 2004)... includes /testolactone/ as an anabolic steroid
