Biological Activity
Androgen receptor[1]
YK11 is a partial agonist of androgen receptor, and induces myogenic differentiation of C2C12 Cells at 500 nM via Fst mRNA upregulation by AR. YK11 enhances Myf5 and myogenin mRNA expression, but requires high concentrations (YK11, 100 nM or 500 nM)[1]. YK11 (0.5 μM) increases the cell growth of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells, and enhances ALP activity via AR. YK11 also elevates osteoprotegerin mRNA expression (0.5 μM) and dose-dependently increases osteocalcin mRNA expression (0.1-1.0 μM). In addition, YK11 enhances phosphorylation of Akt protein via rapid non-genomic signaling[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 20 mg/mL (46.45 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.81 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.81 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Protocol
Mouse myoblast C2C12 cells are cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. C2C12 cells are seeded on plates and maintained in culture medium for 24 h. To induce myogenic differentiation, YK11 or DHT in DMEM supplemented with 2% horse serum (differentiation medium) is added to the cells on day 0. For the neutralization assay of Fst (also known as activin-binding protein), C2C12 cells are maintained in differentiation medium in the presence of anti-Fst antibody[1].
