Description
A selective androgen receptor modulator; activates the androgen receptor in a transactivation assay (EC50 = 12 nM in HeLa cells expressing the human receptor); increases levator ani muscle weight, but has no effect on prostate weight, in castrated rats at 10 mg/kg per day; increases twitch tension in isolated diaphragm strips, as well as increases the total distance run in a treadmill test and decreases gastrocnemius muscle fibrosis in the exercised-mdx mouse model of muscular dystrophy at 30 mg/kg; reverses immobilization-induced muscle atrophy in a mouse model of hindlimb immobilization
