This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as androgens and derivatives. These are 3-hydroxylated C19 steroid hormones. They are known to favor the development of masculine characteristics. They also show profound effects on scalp and body hair in humans. The value of Δ5-diol as a radiation countermeasure is based mainly on its stimulation of production of white blood cells and platelets. Androstenediol used by the body to make testosterone and estrogen. There is some concern that androstenediol might increase the risk of coronary heart disease. There is also developing evidence that androstenediol might help prostate cancer cells grow. Taking androstenediol along with estrogen and testosterone pills might cause too much estrogen or testosterone in the body.

Piritramide is a synthetic opioid that has been used formore than 30 years in parts of Europe as the analgesic of choice for the management of postoperative pain. Piritramide was discovered at Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1960 and is currently manufactured and distributed within continental Europe and some other places by Janssen-Cilag. Piritramide is not available in all countries. It is marketed under the brand name Dipidolor in Germany, Lithuania, Slovenia, Austria. Piritramide is most commonly prescribed i.m. or i.v. for postoperative analgesia. It is used successfully for patient-controlled analgesia in adults 14 and more recently in chil-dren. Piritramide has potency 0.65 to 0.75 times that of morphine. Upon administration, piritramide binds to and activates mu-opioid receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby mimicking the effects of endogenous opioids and producing analgesic relief. The most common side effect of piritramide appears tobe a dose-related incidence of sedation. It is reported in many studies, but rarely accurately quantified. Diaphoresis, urinary retention, flushing, focal myopathy and thrombophlebitis have all been reported. Piritramide is a strong opioid and therefore is regulated much the same as morphine in all known jurisdictions. It was never introduced in the United States and is therefore a Schedule I/Narcotic controlled substance. It is listed under international treaties and other laws such as the German Betabungsmittelgesetz, the Austrian Suchtgiftmittelgesetz, the Opium Laws of various other European countries, Canadian controlled substances act, UK Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971, and equivalents elsewhere.

TILIDINE is a low to medium potency opioid analgesic. It is metabolized to its active metabolites, nortilidine and bisnortilidine. Its analgesic activity is largely exerted through nortilidine which is a potent agonist at Mu opioid receptors.

Bolasterone (7α, 17α‐dimethyltestosterone) is an anabolic steroid. It is able to activate androgen receptor. Despite being a testosterone derivative, bolasterone is also much more anabolic than androgenic in nature. At a given therapeutic level, it is much less likely to cause androgenic/virilizing side effects. he drug was developed by Upjohn, and sold in the U.S. during the 1960’s under the Myagen brand name. It was mainly indicated for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in women, although the agent was also investigated for its stimulatory effect on blood cells and its general anabolic (lean-tissue sparing) activity. Bolasterone was ultimately a short-lived drug, disappearing from the U.S. market shortly after its release.

Aminorex is an anorectic stimulant drug. Aminorex inhibits norepinephrine and dopamine transporters with IC50 of 0.33 and 0.85 uM. It was briefly available as an appetite suppressant in the 1960s in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, but was found to cause pronounced vasoconstriction in the pulmonary vasculature, and was withdrawn from the market in 1972 due to several cases of fatal and life-threatening pulmonary hypertension. In the USA aminorex is an illegal schedule I drug.

Alphacetylmethadol (INN), aka α-acetylmethadol (AAM), is a synthetic opioid analgesic. Its levorotary enantiomer, levacetylmethadol, is an FDA-approved treatment for opioid addiction. Alphacetylmethadol is very similar in structure to methadone, a widely-prescribed treatment for opioid addiction. In the United States, it is a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act with an ACSCN of 9603 and a 2013 annual manufacturing quota of 2 grams. Studies in rats indicate that alphacetylmethadol also evokes the heroin-like discriminative stimulus effects.

Metazocine is a synthetic opioid analgesic with reinforcing properties and PCP-like activity. Metazocine is a Schedule II controlled substance. Metazocine acts as a ligand at opioid, sigma and NMDA receptors. Metazocine enantiomers exert different pharmacological activity.

Allylprodine (Ro 2-7113) is an opioid analgesic. It is stereoselective, with one isomer being much more active. Allylprodine is included in Schedule I of the US Controlled Substances Act 1970 as a Narcotic with ACSCN 9602 and a 2014 annual aggregate manufacturing quota of 2 grammes.
