Desoxymethyltestoserone, AKA Madol and Pheraplex, is an active anabolic steroid that was introduced to the market in 2005 by Patrick Arnold...suprise surprise lol.
Structurally, Madol is a very interesting molecule. If you compare it to test, Madol is missing the 3-keto group (C=O) that is usually important to binding to the AR. Instead, it has a double bond at carbon 2, which makes it bind slightly weaker than DHT. It is a very anabolic compound, with a 6.5:1 ratio vs testosterone.
Interestingly, Madol has very high selectivity towards being anabolic vs androgenic, almost like a SARM. It stimulated skeletal muscle growth with no prostate growth in rats, very rare for a steroid. Sadly, in 2010, Madol was banned and is now a schedule III steroid. The acetate version should be very similar in effect, with very clean gains with no water retention. Dosing is 50-100mg EOD.
Worth noting: Madol is very close in structure to epistane, which has a thiol ring where the carbon 2 double bond is on Madol. If fact, some epistane products could decompose into Madol under certain conditions.
