Ligandrol
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ligandrol is an orally active, selective androgen receptor (AR) agonist. Ligandrol enhances protein synthesis, inhibits muscle breakdown and oxidative stress, improves muscle cell viability and bone tissue microstructure, and reduces Cisplatin (HY-17394)-induced muscle toxicity and apoptosis. Ligandrol promotes muscle growth, protects bone structure, and has anti-diabetic, anti-apoptotic and antioxidant effects. Ligandrol can antagonize Streptozotocin (HY-13753) damage to pancreatic islets and improve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

Ligandrol increases insulin secretion in MIN6 cells within 2 hours exprouse[1].
Ligandrol (0.5-50 mg/L; 24 h) increased cell viability, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and caspase 3/7 expression in a concentration-dependent manner, and decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, total oxidative state (TOS), DNA fragmentation, lipid peroxidation and intracellular calcium concentration in the mouse skeletal muscle cell line C2C12[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:Mouse C2C12 skeletal muscle cells
-
Concentration:0.5, 5, 50 mg/L (Ligandrol); 10 μM (Cisplatin)
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Had no significant cytotoxicity, but co-treatment with Cisplatin significantly increased cell viability by 1.1-2.14-fold compared to Cisplatin alone.
Reduced LDH release, a marker of membrane damage, by 1.16-2.18-fold in Ligandrol + Cisplatin groups, indicating improved membrane integrity.
Ligandrol (0.5 mg/kg; oral gavage; once daily; 3 weeks) improves muscle strength and function, increases muscle mass, and reduces Cisplatin (HY-17394)-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in a mouse model of muscle atrophy[2].

-
Animal Model:Cisplatin-Induced Muscle Atrophy Model (male, 25 g, 8 weeks old)[2]
-
Dosage:0.5 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage, once daily for 3 weeks
-
Result:-Muscle Strength and Function:
Significantly increased the grip strength of the mice than that in the Cisplatin-only group, indicating improved muscle strength. Enhanced the performance in the rotarod test, suggesting better muscle function.
-Muscle Mass:
Increased the weight of the gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles compared to the Cisplatin-only group, demonstrating an increase in muscle mass.
-Oxidative Stress:
Decreased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of lipid peroxidation in the muscle tissues, while the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were increased, indicating a reduction in oxidative stress.
-Apoptosis:
Significantly decreased the number of apoptotic cells in the muscle tissues, as determined by TUNEL staining, than in the Cisplatin-only group. Decreased the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax, while increased the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, suggesting apoptosis inhibition in muscle cells.
