S-40503
S-40503 is a tissue-selective androgen receptor (AR) agonist with a Ki of 14.9 nM for rat AR. S-40503 binds to AR with high specificity, exerts full agonistic effects in bone and muscle, acts as a partial agonist in the prostate, and preferentially targets anabolic tissues rather than androgen-dependent tissues. S-40503 can be used in the research of osteoporosis.

Biological Activity
|
Rat AR 14.9 nM (Ki) |
S-40503 is a selective, high-affinity androgen receptor binder with minimal cross-reactivity to other nuclear receptors, exhibiting an AR Ki of 14.9 nM[1].
S-40503 binds to androgen receptor with a relative binding affinity of 0.3% compared to DHT[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
S-40503 (30 mg/kg; s.c.; daily; 4 weeks) increases levator ani weight without enlarging the prostate in normal male rats, confirming diminished virilizing activity under physiological androgen conditions[1].
S-40503 (30 mg/kg; s.c.; daily; 8 weeks) stimulates periosteal bone formation to increase femoral cortical bone mass and biomechanical strength in ovariectomized rats, with no effect on cancellous bone[1].
S-40503 (30 mg/kg; s.c.; daily; 4 weeks) directly increases tibial cortical bone mass without affecting hindlimb muscle weight in immobilized orchiectomized rats, while maintaining muscle anabolic activity and reduced virilizing effects[1].
S-40503 (1-30 mg/kg; s.c.; daily; 4 weeks) acts as a tissue-selective androgen receptor agonist in castrated rats, showing similar anabolic activity in muscle and bone to DHT at the highest tested dose but with less stimulatory effect on prostate growth[2].
S-40503 (30 mg/kg; s.c.; daily; 4 weeks) exhibits tissue selectivity in intact male rats, stimulating anabolic muscle growth without affecting prostate tissue weight at the tested dose[2].
S-40503 (s.c.; daily) acts as an anabolic agent to restore bone density, formation, and strength in ovariectomized rats with established osteoporosis[2].
