Scientific Profile
Detailed information
Introduction
- SR-9009, commonly known as Stenabolic, is an experimental synthetic agonist of the nuclear receptors REV-ERBα and
- REV-ERBβ, which play important roles in regulation of the circadian clock and metabolic processes. Unlike SARMs,
- anabolic steroids, or growth hormone secretagogues, SR-9009 does not primarily act through the androgen receptor or
- growth hormone axis.
- Research has investigated SR-9009 in relation to:
- Circadian rhythm regulation
- Energy metabolism
- Lipid metabolism
- Skeletal muscle metabolism
- Glucose homeostasis
- Cellular metabolism
- NEXON
History
SR-9009 was developed during research aimed at pharmacologically targeting the REV-ERB nuclear receptors, important components of the molecular circadian clock. In the original preclinical research, synthetic REV-ERB agonists including SR- 9009 were shown to alter circadian gene expression and metabolic pathways in animal models. Studies in diet-induced obese mice reported changes in fat mass, energy expenditure, lipid parameters, and glucose levels following experimental treatment. These findings generated interest in REV-ERB agonists as potential research tools for studying metabolic and circadian disorders. However, SR-9009 has remained an experimental compound and has not been established as an approved therapeutic medication.
NEXON
Chemical Structure
SR-9009 is a synthetic small-molecule REV-ERB agonist designed to interact with the nuclear receptors REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ.
Its mechanism is fundamentally different from androgen receptor modulators such as SARMs. Rather than directly stimulating androgen receptors, SR-9009 influences transcriptional pathways involved in circadian regulation and cellular metabolism.
NEXON
Pharmacology
SR-9009 primarily interacts with the nuclear receptors REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ, which function as transcriptional regulators within the circadian clock.
- REV-ERB signaling is involved in regulation of:
- Circadian gene expression
- Lipid metabolism
- Glucose metabolism
- Energy expenditure
- Mitochondrial and oxidative metabolism
Preclinical research has demonstrated that pharmacological activation of REV-ERB can alter metabolic gene expression in tissues including skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.
NEXON
Mechanism of Action
The proposed mechanism involves activation of REV-ERB receptors.
The general pathway includes:
- Systemic absorption
- Distribution to tissues
- Interaction with REV-ERBα / REV-ERBβ
- Nuclear receptor activation
- Regulation of transcriptional activity
- Modulation of circadian clock genes
- Alteration of metabolic gene expression
- Changes in cellular energy metabolism
NEXON
Pharmacodynamics
SR-9009 influences physiological processes primarily through REV-ERB-mediated transcriptional regulation.
NEXON
Pharmacokinetics
SR-9009 has been investigated primarily in preclinical and analytical studies, and reliable human pharmacokinetic data are limited. Metabolism studies using human liver microsomes identified multiple SR-9009 metabolites and implicated several cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6.
Because SR-9009 has not been developed as an approved human medicine, a standardized clinical pharmacokinetic profile or validated therapeutic half-life has not been established.
NEXON
Physiological Effects
SR-9009 primarily influences physiological processes through activation of REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ, nuclear receptors that participate in regulation of the circadian clock and cellular metabolism. Experimental studies have shown that REV-ERB activation can modify metabolic gene expression in skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue, influencing pathways associated with energy expenditure, lipid utilization, glucose metabolism, and oxidative activity. In animal models, SR-9009 treatment has been associated with reductions in fat mass and changes in metabolic parameters.
SR-9009 may also influence cellular processes beyond metabolism, including circadian signaling, inflammatory pathways, and cellular proliferation. However, subsequent research has raised questions about whether all of the biological effects attributed to SR-9009 are exclusively mediated through REV-ERB activation, indicating that its pharmacological profile may be more complex than initially proposed.

Clinical Applications
SR-9009 has no established approved clinical application. Its primary scientific applications have been experimental studies of circadian biology, metabolic regulation, energy expenditure, and cellular physiology.
- Investigational research has examined:
- Circadian rhythm regulation
- Metabolic disorders
- Lipid metabolism
- Glucose metabolism
- Skeletal muscle metabolism
- Cellular and cancer biology
Although preclinical studies have produced potentially interesting findings, these results have not established SR-9009 as a safe or effective treatment for human metabolic or medical conditions.
