Cardarine (GW-501516) is a synthetic, non-steroidal PPARδ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta) agonist. Mechanistically, it binds and activates the PPARδ nuclear receptor, which regulates the transcription of genes involved in lipid and energy metabolism. It was developed through pharmaceutical research programs, including those at GlaxoSmithKline, beginning in the early 1990s (ref. 1).
Although GW-501516 is frequently catalogued and sold alongside selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), this is a cataloguing convention rather than a pharmacological classification: it is mechanistically distinct and does not bind the androgen receptor. It remains an experimental research chemical, supplied strictly for laboratory research. Sports Technology Labs makes no claims regarding its effects, and nothing in this listing should be interpreted as describing outcomes in humans or animals.
Not approved for human use
GW-501516 is an investigational compound. It is not approved by the FDA and is not a dietary supplement, drug, or food. Marketing it for human ingestion is unlawful.
WADA-prohibited
Listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency under S4 (Hormone and Metabolic Modulators) as a PPARδ agonist, banned both in- and out-of-competition (ref. 3).
Legal status for research
In the United States, GW-501516 is not a controlled substance and may be legally purchased and possessed for laboratory research use.
