Methandienone Long-Term Metabolite:
India has successfully developed a rare and high-purity Reference Material (RM) – Methandienone Long-Term Metabolite (LTM) for enhanced Anti-Doping Testing in sports.
- Methandienone Long-Term Metabolite is one of the Reference Material (RM) developed by the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) in collaboration with the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL)
- RM is the most highly purified and scientifically characterized forms of drug substances or their metabolites, essential for accurate analytical testing.
- They are crucial for the detection of over 450 substances that are currently prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
- These metabolites help in identifying athletes who have used Methandienone
- It will increase improved detection capabilities and serve as a deterrent for athletes considering the use of anabolic steroids like Methandienone.
- The new reference material will help in enforcing transparency and integrity in sports by protecting clean athletes and acting as deterrents for use of prohibited substances.
- National Dope Testing Laboratory is a premier analytical testing & research organization established under Government of India.
- It is the only laboratory in the country responsible for human sports dope testing.
