YK-11 is a synthetic steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM).[1][2] It is a gene-selective partial agonist of the androgen receptor (AR) and does not induce the physical interaction between the NTD/AF1 and LBD/AF2 (known as the N/C interaction), which is required for full transactivation of the AR.[1][2] The drug has anabolic activity in vitro in C2C12 myoblasts and shows greater potency than dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in this regard.[2] It has been investigated as a potential treatment for sepsis-induced muscle wasting in animal studies.[3]
