YK-11 is a synthetic steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). 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. The drug has anabolic activity in vitro in C2C12 myoblasts and shows greater potency than dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in this regard. It has been investigated as a potential treatment for sepsis-induced muscle wasting in animal studies.
Description
YK11 was first studied by Japanese researcher Yuichiro Kanno in 2011. It was found to be a partial agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), genetically selective, leading researchers to believe the compound was a SARM. YK11 is an experimental drug candidate and an unapproved substance for use in humans.

Mechanism of action
YK-11 is an androgen receptor partial agonist that activates androgen receptor transcriptional activity in HEK293 cells overexpressing androgen receptors when used at a concentration of 0.1 μM.1 It induces expression of the androgen receptor target genes FKBP51 and FGF18 in HEK293 cells when used at a concentration of 10 μM. YK-11 accelerates nuclear translocation of androgen receptors without inducing interaction between the androgen receptor N- and C-termini. In C2C12 cells, YK-11 (500 nM) increases expression of the myogenic regulatory factors MyoD, Myf5, and myogenin, as well as follistatin (Fst), and induces myogenic differentiation.
