Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ostarine, aslo known as Enobosarm, and MK-2866 and GTX-024, is selective androgen receptor modulator with anabolic activity. Selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) GTx-024 is designed to work like testosterone, thus promoting and/or maintaining libido, fertility, prostate growth, and muscle growth and strength. Mimicking testosterone's action, this agent may increase lean body mass, thereby ameliorating muscle wasting in the hypermetabolic state of cancer cachexia.

More Info
Ostarine (also known as GTx-024 and MK-2866) is an investigational selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) from GTX, Inc for treatment of conditions such as muscle wasting and osteoporosis, formerly under development by Merck & Company.  GTx and Merck had clinical development plans to evaluate Ostarine for the treatment of muscle loss in patients with COPD and for the treatment of chronic sarcopenia. They had a goal of initiating an Ostarine Phase II COPD clinical trial in the first quarter of 2010 and an Ostarine Phase IIb chronic sarcopenia clinical trial in 2010. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostarine ).    
Biological target:
GTx-007 is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) and a partial agonist with a Ki of 4 nM.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
The effects of the SARM drug ostarine on postmenopausal osteoporotic bone was evaluated in a rat osteoporosis model. Low dose showed no effects. The effects of intermediate and high doses were comparable overall. Improvements were mainly seen in structural properties such as bone mineral density and bone volume density. However, the effects in femora were superior to effects in vertebrae. mRNA expression of the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand decreased after treatment, and uterine weight increased. Serum levels of phosphorus increased following ostarine treatment in intermediate and high-dose groups. Short-term treatment of osteoporotic bone with ostarine led to improvement of several microstructural bone indices. While no changes in biomechanics were observed, it is conceivable that longer treatment may also improve biomechanical properties. Further studies are needed to characterize longer time effects and side effects of ostarine in osteoporosis.
