Description
SR-9009 (Stenabolic) Powder — 2 Grams
SR-9009, also designated SR9009 or stenabolic, is a synthetic agonist of the REV-ERBα and REV-ERBβ nuclear receptors, components of the molecular circadian clock. Although it is often catalogued alongside SARMs, it is mechanistically distinct and does not bind the androgen receptor. This listing is a research-grade reference compound supplied in powder form for in vitro and laboratory investigation. Identity and purity are third-party verified and documented by a downloadable Certificate of Analysis.

Quality & Analytical Transparency
Independent analysis has repeatedly found that research compounds sold online are frequently mislabeled or adulterated. A 2017 JAMA investigation that chemically analyzed products marketed as SARMs, a category that commonly includes SR-9009, found that only a minority accurately matched their labeled contents, and a substantial share contained unapproved or entirely different substances.[5] Third-party testing is the control that distinguishes a documented reference compound from an unverified one.
Research Context
SR-9009 was developed at The Scripps Research Institute and first described in 2012 as a synthetic ligand for the REV-ERB nuclear receptors, which regulate circadian gene expression and metabolic pathways. The original report characterized its effects on circadian behavior and on gene expression in liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue in mice,[1] and follow-up work examined REV-ERBα’s role in skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative capacity.[2] It has also been used as a tool compound in cancer cell and oncogene-induced senescence models.[3] Importantly for experimental design, later research found that SR-9009 affects cell proliferation and metabolism even in cells lacking both REV-ERB receptors, indicating off-target activity that complicates attributing its effects to REV-ERB alone.[4]

Compliance & Legal Status
SR-9009 (stenabolic) is an investigational compound that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for human use and has not been evaluated in human clinical trials. It is not a dietary supplement, and marketing it for human ingestion is unlawful. It is supplied exclusively for laboratory research purposes.
