International status:
US: 5α-Estran-3β,17α-diol, 5(10)-estren-3β,17α-diol and nandrolone sulfate are not listed specifically in the Schedules to the US Controlled Substances Act and are not mentioned anywhere on the DEA website.
United Nations: The substances are not listed on the Yellow List - List of Narcotic Drugs under International Control, the Green List - List of Psychotropic Substances under International Control, nor the Red List - List of Precursors and Chemicals Frequently Used in the Illicit Manufacture of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances under International Control.
Canadian Status: 5α-Estran-3β,17α-diol, 5(10)-estren-3β,17α-diol and nandrolone sulfate are not listed specifically in the CDSA. The substances are exogenous(5α-Estran-3β,17α-diol and nandrolone sulfate) and endogenous(5(10)-estren-3β,17α-diol) metabolites of nandrolone (17ß–hydroxyestr–4–en–3–one)[1], which is listed as sub-item 23(28) of Schedule IV to the CDSA under the heading “Anabolic steroids and their derivatives including:”. As metabolites of nandrolone, 5α-estran-3β,17α-diol, 5(10)-estren-3β,17α-diol and nandrolone sulfate are captured under sub-item 23(28) of Schedule IV to the CDSA.
Recommendation: 5α-Estran-3β,17α-diol, 5(10)-estren-3β,17α-diol and nandrolone sulfate are included under sub-item 23(28) of Schedule IV to the CDSA and are controlled substances.
