Oxymetholone, introduced as Anadrol-50 in the early 1960s by Syntex, was initially intended to treat muscle wasting, anemia, and osteoporosis. Its powerful anabolic effect stems from its structural modification of dihydrotestosterone, which includes a 2-hydroxymethylene group and 17α-alkylation for oral activity. Despite being a DHT derivative, it produces estrogen-like side effects such as water retention. Due to hepatotoxicity and cardiovascular strain, its clinical use today is limited to tightly controlled settings.
