Epitestosterone (17alpha-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one) is a naturally occurring epimer of testosterone. It apparently parallels the formation of testosterone, but on the other hand its concentration is not influenced by exogenous administration of testosterone. This fact creates the basis of the present doping control of testosterone abuse. Epitestosterone can be considered as a weak antiandrogen in the term of displacement of androgen from receptor binding and as an efficient inhibitor of 5 alpha-reductase. Epitestosterone exerts androgen receptor-independent neuroprotective activity in vitro.
