MK-2866 and Naltrexone Interaction

Avoid
Mechanism-based 64% confidence

MK-2866 and Naltrexone have a potentially harmful interaction with 64% confidence. Both MK-2866 and Naltrexone carry hepatotoxic risk. Combining hepatotoxic compounds significantly increases liver damage potential. If unavoidable, include liver support (TUDCA/NAC) and monitor ALT/AST frequently. These compounds primarily affect different organ systems.

Compound Profiles

MK-2866

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator | Muscle Wasting Research

MK-2866 binds to the androgen receptor (AR) with high affinity and selectivity, functioning as a partial agonist in muscle and bone tissue. Upon binding, the MK-2866-AR complex undergoes a conformational change that promotes nuclear translocation and interaction with androgen response elements (AREs) on DNA, activating transcription of genes involved in protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and myogenic differentiation.

Naltrexone

Opioid Antagonist | Low-Dose Anti-Inflammatory & Immune Modulation

At low doses (1-4.5 mg), naltrexone produces a brief nocturnal blockade of opioid receptors that lasts approximately 4-6 hours.
