RAD 150: The Esterified Version of RAD 140

RAD 150, also known as TLB 150, is the esterified form of the well-studied SARM RAD-140. Originally, RAD-140 has been extensively researched in male rats that have been gonadectomized and show signs of neurodegenerative decline due to reduced androgen levels.

A groundbreaking study conducted by Jayaramen et al. concluded that supplementation with RAD 140 had neuroprotective effects in male rats, primarily through MAPK signaling pathways. The study also demonstrated that RAD 140 was nearly as effective as testosterone in protecting against cell death. In addition to these neuroprotective properties, RAD 140 led to an average weight gain of 10% in young monkeys over a 28-day period. DEXA scans confirmed that this increase mainly consisted of lean muscle mass.

The Process of Esterification

Esterification is a substitution reaction where a hydroxyl group (-OH) from a carboxylic acid is replaced by an alkyl group (-O-). This process occurs upon exposure to heat and a strong acid, usually sulfuric acid. In certain cases, other strong acids like hydrochloric acid can also be used to catalyze the reaction.

Difference Between RAD 140 and RAD 150

RAD 150 distinguishes itself from RAD 140 by the addition of benzoate esters during the esterification process. This addition increases the alkalinity and stability of the compound. The esterified form, RAD 150, also has higher bioavailability and a longer half-life than its non-esterified counterpart, RAD 140. This suggests that the esterification adds additional benefits to the compound. For instance, RAD 150 is absorbed more quickly and remains active in the body for a longer period.
