YK-11


YK-11 is a synthetic steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator. It is a gene-selective partial agonist of the androgen receptor and does not induce the physical interaction between the NTD/AF1 and LBD/AF2, which is required for full transactivation of the AR. The drug has anabolic activity in vitro in C2C12 myoblasts and shows greater potency than dihydrotestosterone in this regard.
