SR-9009 (Stenabolic): What the Research Shows

Research Use Only: This article summarises published scientific literature for laboratory and research audiences. It is not medical advice, and SR-9009 is not approved for human or veterinary use.

What is SR-9009?

SR-9009 (Stenabolic) is a synthetic compound studied in the research literature as an agonist of the REV-ERB proteins, which are part of the circadian-clock and metabolic-regulation machinery. It is a common subject in circadian-biology and metabolism research.

Where SR-9009 sits in the research literature

The evidence base is preclinical, based on cell and animal studies. Notably, its oral bioavailability is reported to be low, which is an important consideration in interpreting the research. Laboratory findings should not be extrapolated to people.

Reported areas of preclinical interest

  • REV-ERB agonism: studied for effects on circadian-clock and metabolic gene pathways in laboratory models.
  • Metabolic and endurance markers: examined in animal metabolic research.

Safety and regulatory status

SR-9009 is not an approved medicinal product and appears on the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited list. These points make its research-only status especially important.

Why the “research use only” label matters

SR-9009 is supplied strictly for laboratory and scientific research and is not for human or veterinary consumption.

Frequently asked questions

What does SR-9009 do in research?

It is studied as a REV-ERB agonist affecting circadian-clock and metabolic gene pathways in laboratory models.

Is SR-9009 approved or allowed in sport?

No. It is not approved as a medicine and is banned in sport by WADA. It is a research material only.

Key takeaways

SR-9009 (Stenabolic) is a REV-ERB agonist studied in circadian and metabolic research, with important regulatory caveats. It is a research material only. Review the SR-9009 research product.
