19-Norandrosterone, also known as 3α-hydroxy-5α-estran-17-one, is a metabolite of nandrolone and bolandione. It is created as a byproduct of nandrolone via the 5α-reductase enzyme and is on the list of substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency since it is a detectable metabolite of nandrolone which is an anabolic steroid.[1] Consumption of androstendione products contaminated with traces of bolandione also results in testing positive for nandrolone.[2]
Traces of 19-norandrosterone may be naturally present in human urine. An experiment conducted on athletes showed that after a prolonged intense effort, the 19-norandrosterone concentration can be increased by a factor varying between 2 and 4,[3] but another study failed to replicate the result.[4] Concentration also increases in the urine of female athletes during menstruation.[5] The consumption of edible parts of a non-castrated pig, containing 19-nortestosterone, has been shown to result in the excretion of 19-norandrosterone in the following hours, so athletes should prudently avoid meals composed of pig offal in the hours preceding doping tests.[6] Consumption of boar meat, liver, kidneys and heart also increased 19-norandrosterone output.[7]
19-Norandrosterone is also the basic skeleton structure for a family of C18 steroidal compounds called "dehydronorandrosterones".
