Scientific Profile
Detailed information
Introduction
ACP-105 is a non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) developed as an experimental androgen receptor–targeting compound. It belongs to the class of small molecules designed to activate androgen receptors while producing a different tissue-response profile from conventional anabolic-androgenic steroids.
ACP-105 has primarily been studied in preclinical pharmacology and, more recently, in analytical and toxicological research. It has also been detected in anti-doping analyses and is recognized by the FDA among SARM-related substances.
NEXON
History
ACP-105 emerged from research into selective androgen receptor modulators designed to produce anabolic activity through androgen receptor signaling. Early development of SARMs focused on identifying orally active compounds capable of influencing skeletal muscle and bone while limiting some of the androgenic effects associated with traditional steroidal androgens. ACP-105 subsequently became a subject of pharmacological, metabolism, and anti-doping research. More recent studies have investigated its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination characteristics, while analytical research has identified metabolites useful for detecting the compound in biological samples. ACP-105 has not progressed to an approved therapeutic medicine and remains an investigational compound.

Chemical Structure
ACP-105 is a non-steroidal SARM and does not contain the classical four-ring steroid nucleus characteristic of testosterone and conventional anabolic-androgenic steroids.
Its molecular structure allows interaction with the androgen receptor and modulation of androgen-responsive cellular signaling.
NEXON
Pharmacology
ACP-105 acts through interaction with the androgen receptor (AR). As a SARM, its pharmacological development was based on the concept of producing androgen receptor–mediated anabolic activity with greater tissue selectivity than traditional androgenic steroids.
Available research places ACP-105 primarily within experimental pharmacology and anti-doping science rather than established clinical medicine.

Mechanism of Action
The proposed mechanism involves androgen receptor activation.
The proposed mechanism involves androgen receptor activation.
- Oral absorption
- Systemic distribution
- Binding to androgen receptors
- Formation of receptor-ligand complexes
- Nuclear translocation
- Regulation of androgen-responsive gene transcription
- Modulation of muscle-cell differentiation pathways
NEXON
Pharmacodynamics
ACP-105 produces its biological activity primarily through androgen receptor signaling.
NEXON
Pharmacokinetics
ACP-105 is an orally active compound and undergoes gastrointestinal absorption followed by systemic distribution.
A 2025 ADME study provided an integrated computational profile of ACP-105 and predicted high gastrointestinal absorption, strong plasma-protein binding, and extensive hepatic metabolism. The study identified six predicted metabolites and indicated CYP3A4 as a major metabolic pathway. Importantly, these values are largely in-silico predictions, rather than established clinical pharmacokinetic measurements in humans.
NEXON
Physiological Effects
ACP-105 has been investigated primarily for its ability to modulate androgen receptor signaling and produce anabolic effects in androgen-responsive tissues. As a SARM, its proposed physiological activity includes effects on skeletal muscle and bone through androgen receptor–mediated regulation of cellular processes. These pathways may influence protein metabolism, maintenance of lean tissue, muscle physiology, and skeletal remodeling.
ACP-105 may also affect systemic endocrine function because androgen receptor modulation can influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and endogenous androgen production. However, reliable human clinical data describing the magnitude and long-term consequences of these effects remain limited. Consequently, its physiological profile should be considered experimental rather than equivalent to that of an approved androgenic medicine.
Clinical Applications
ACP-105 has no established approved clinical application. Research into SARMs has broadly explored their potential for conditions involving loss of muscle mass, frailty, osteoporosis, and other androgen-responsive disorders, but ACP-105 itself has not demonstrated an established therapeutic indication through approved clinical development.
NEXON More recent work involving ACP-105 has focused heavily on pharmacokinetics, metabolism, toxicology, forensic analysis, and anti-doping detection rather than clinical treatment. The compound has been detected in doping-control investigations and remains an experimental substance.

- Liver function
- Endocrine function
- Reproductive function
- Prostate health
The overall safety profile depends on the specific compound, formulation, concentration, duration of exposure, individual response, and patient characteristics. Appropriate medical evaluation and regular monitoring should be considered when clinically indicated.
