Δ4-Tibolone

Δ4-Tibolone (developmental code name ORG-OM-38), also known as 7α-methylnorethisterone or as 7α-methyl-17α-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone, is a synthetic androgen and progestin which was never marketed.[1][2] The compound is a major active metabolite of tibolone, which itself is a prodrug of δ4-tibolone along with 3α-hydroxytibolone and 3β-hydroxytibolone (which, in contrast to δ4-tibolone, are estrogens).[1] Tibolone and δ4-tibolone are thought to be responsible for the androgenic and progestogenic activity of tibolone, while 3α-hydroxytibolone and 3β-hydroxytibolone are thought to be responsible for its estrogenic activity.[1]
