Research-Grade Steroidal SARM Reference Material

YK-11 Powder — 1 Gram

YK-11 is a synthetic steroidal compound, derived from 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), that has been characterized in cell studies as a partial agonist of the androgen receptor. Although it is commonly grouped with SARMs, its steroid backbone distinguishes it structurally from non-steroidal SARMs such as ostarine or ligandrol. This listing is a research-grade reference compound supplied in powder form for in vitro and laboratory investigation. Identity and purity are third-party verified and documented by a batch-dated, downloadable Certificate of Analysis.

  • 98.76% purity (HPLC)
  • Third-party verified
  • 1,050 mg net
  • Batch-dated COA
  • UV-resistant foil pouch
Technical Reference

Research Context

YK-11 was first described in 2011 by Japanese researchers as a partial agonist of the androgen receptor with gene-selective activity in MDA-MB-453 cells.[1] Subsequent cell studies reported that it induced follistatin expression during myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts[2] and influenced proliferation and differentiation markers in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells.[3] It has also been examined in a mouse model of bacterial sepsis.[4] A 2024 rat study reported that YK-11 reached the hippocampus and was associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, activation of apoptotic signaling, and altered memory consolidation.[5] Most published data on YK-11 come from cell culture, and its effects and safety in humans have not been established.

This material is supplied strictly as a reference compound to support such laboratory investigation. It is not a therapeutic product, dietary supplement, or sports supplement, and no clinical or performance outcomes are claimed or implied for any individual.
