SR9009
Also known as: Stenabolic
SR9009 is a synthetic Rev-ErbA agonist developed at Scripps Research Institute. It affects circadian rhythm biology and has shown dramatic effects on metabolism and endurance in mouse studies.

Intermediate| CAS Number | 1379686-30-2 |
| Molecular Formula | C20H24ClN3O4S |
| Class | Other |
| Category | Other Performance Compounds |
Mechanism of Action
SR9009 activates Rev-Erbα, a nuclear receptor that plays a key role in circadian rhythm regulation. This activation increases mitochondrial count in muscle, enhances fatty acid and glucose oxidation, and decreases fat storage. It essentially mimics the effects of exercise at the cellular level.
Dosing Research
Animal studies used 100 mg/kg in mice. Oral bioavailability is extremely poor (~2%). Research community references 20-30 mg/day, often split into 3-4 doses due to short half-life of 4 hours. Sublingual administration sometimes used.
Side Effects & Risks
Very poor oral bioavailability limits effectiveness. Potential circadian rhythm disruption. Insomnia if taken too late in the day. Limited human data. Liver metabolism concerns with frequent dosing.

Finasteride
OtherFinasteride is a selective type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor approved for male pattern hair loss (1 mg, Propecia) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (5 mg, Proscar). It reduces scalp DHT levels by approximately 60-70% and is one of only two FDA-approved oral medications for androgenetic alopecia. It has decades of clinical data supporting its efficacy.
Tamoxifen
OtherTamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that has been the gold standard for breast cancer treatment and prevention since the 1970s. It is one of the most widely used compounds in post-cycle therapy (PCT) for restoring endogenous testosterone production after anabolic steroid use.
Clomiphene Citrate
OtherClomiphene citrate is a SERM originally developed for female ovulation induction and widely adopted in PCT protocols and off-label male hypogonadism treatment. It is a racemic mixture of two geometric isomers, enclomiphene (trans) and zuclomiphene (cis), with differing estrogenic properties.
Anastrozole
OtherAnastrozole is a potent, selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that reduces estradiol levels by approximately 80-85%. It is widely used in breast cancer treatment and is the most commonly employed AI during anabolic steroid cycles to manage estrogen-related side effects.
