YK-11 (Myostine) Capsules

A. Introduction

YK-11 (Myostine) represents a specialized class of SARM characterized by its steroidal backbone, derived from ethisterone. It is a primary subject for research institutions investigating dual-mechanism ligands that demonstrate both androgen receptor (AR) agonism and myostatin inhibition through the induction of the antagonist protein, follistatin.

B. Scientific Overview

Chemically identified as (17α,20E)-17,20-[(1-methoxyethylidene)bis(oxy)]-3-oxo-19-norpregna-4,20-diene-21-carboxylic acid methyl ester ($C_{25}H_{34}O_{6}$), YK-11 is studied for its ability to act as a gene-selective partial agonist. In a laboratory context, researchers focus on its capacity to stimulate the expression of myogenic regulatory factors in cell cultures, specifically targeting the REV-ERB and Follistatin pathways to modulate cellular growth cycles.

D. Laboratory Use Context

YK-11 capsules are provided exclusively for in-vitro research and analytical testing. They are a critical reagent for:

• Investigating the up-regulation of Follistatin in muscle cell lines.

• Studying the structural biology of the 19-norpregna-4,20-diene scaffold.

• Calibration and validation of LC-MS/MS and GC-MS equipment.

• Comparative analysis of steroidal vs. non-steroidal androgen receptor ligands.

E. Quality & Testing

• Analytical Precision: Each batch undergoes rigorous HPLC analysis to confirm chemical purity and 5mg concentration accuracy per capsule.

• Structural Identity: Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Proton NMR verify the presence of the complex methoxyethylidene group and steroidal nucleus.

• Homogeneity: Advanced encapsulation technology ensures a uniform distribution of the reagent for reproducible research results.
