It was never an approved drug for anything, so it's dubious to say it was withdrawn; it was reclassified as schedule III together with many other "prohormones". It was considered a nutritional supplement before because it occurs in minute quantities in nature somewhere (can't find a paper to say where right now).

This should probably include a reference to the original research in the Journal of Organic Chemistry where its discovery was announced and the first classification of the effects were determined. Off the top of my head, I believe they found it several times more potent than the baseline anabolically, but only as androgenic. Some mention of oral availability and different types, esters, etc, would be interesting. An undecanoate soy-oil based version was developed that surprisingly tested higher bioavailablity when oral than normal test soy. 1-test was injectable, but reportedly caused burning sensations. Speaking of that last point, I'd also like to see a mention of the offshoot chemicals that were based on this one that lacked many of these traits. There were even more exotic steroids developed from the 1-test "path" that were even more potent and less problematic to the liver, too. What ever happened to that research? -Reticuli 66.178.144.182 (talk) 08:33, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
