Product Overview

RAD-140 (scientifically known as Testolone) is a highly potent, non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). It represents one of the most heavily investigated compounds in modern musculoskeletal and neuroprotective research, developed to overcome the systematic limitations of conventional androgen therapies.

In physiological and cellular research models, RAD-140 binds with exceptional affinity and selectivity to the androgen receptor (AR). Crucially, its mechanism of action is tissue-selective. It acts as a full agonist in anabolic target tissues—specifically skeletal muscle and bone structure—while functioning as only a weak partial agonist or antagonist in androgenic tissues like the prostate gland and seminal vesicles.

In preclinical animal assays, this targeted activation triggers rapid nitrogen retention and accelerated protein synthesis within muscle fibers. Because it possesses an anabolic-to-androgenic ratio of approximately 90:1, RAD-140 allows researchers to isolate and study profound muscle-building and bone-mineralization pathways while completely bypassing the severe systemic side effects typically induced by exogenous testosterone or anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS).

Key Research Applications

• Skeletal Muscle Wasting & Cachexia: Investigating the molecular pathways behind muscle hypertrophy and the reversal of severe lean tissue degradation in illness models.

• Bone Mineral Density Homeostasis: Evaluating the compound’s capacity to stimulate osteoblast activity and reinforce bone structural integrity to model osteoporosis countermeasures.

• Neuroprotective Signaling: Studying the unique ability of RAD-140 to mitigate cellular apoptosis (programmed cell death) induced by beta-amyloid accumulation in neurodegenerative research models.

Uncompromising Quality Control

Every batch of RAD-140 distributed by Onyx Research undergoes independent, third-party analytical testing to guarantee reproducible experimental results.

• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Confirms an exact purity profile of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) exceeding 99%.

• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Verifies correct molecular identity ($393.8\text{ Da}$) and ensures complete freedom from structural contaminants.

• Accurate Dosing: Formulated in uniformly measured research capsules for exact, highly reproducible administration in oral-delivery protocols.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

• Form: Solid oral research capsules.

• Storage (Long-Term): Store in a cool, dry place (15∘C to 25∘C) inside the original container. Keep tightly sealed and shielded from direct UV light, moisture, and excessive heat.

• Stability: Chemically stable at room temperature for up to 24 months when stored under optimal laboratory conditions.
