Product Overview
Our YK-11 Powder (Myostine) is synthesized to the highest industry standards for laboratories exploring advanced tissue-selective compounds. Unlike traditional selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), YK-11 features a unique steroidal core structure that delivers a distinct dual-pathway mechanism.
Key Research Features & Capabilities
-
Actively upregulates Follistatin mRNA expression in C2C12 myoblast cell models, offering a highly controlled framework for studying the circumvention of normal genetic muscle limits.
-
Accelerates the nuclear translocation of androgen receptors without inducing the systemic side effects typically seen with raw anabolic steroids.
-
Beyond skeletal muscle tissue synthesis, this compound provides a valuable platform for osteogenesis research, demonstrating an ability to increase alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and bone matrix mineralization in osteoblastic cell lines.
-
Free from unreacted precursors, heavy metals, and structural isomers, making it ideal for high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) baseline testing.
Reconstitution, Solubility, and Solvent Compatibility
YK-11 is highly lipophilic and completely hydrophobic, meaning it will not dissolve in water or aqueous saline solutions.
-
Primary Solubilization: Reconstitute the crystalline powder using high-purity dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or anhydrous laboratory ethanol.
-
Saturation Threshold: Achieves complete, clear saturation at a concentration baseline of up to $20\text{ mg/mL}$.
-
Long-Term Preservation: Keep the dry powder sealed in a climate-controlled environment at $-20^\circ\text{C}$ for up to 3 years of shelf life. Once transitioned into a liquid solvent matrix, store working aliquots at $-80^\circ\text{C}$ and utilize within 90 days.
