MK-2866 and Oxandrolone Interaction

Avoid
Mechanism-based 64% confidence

MK-2866 and Oxandrolone have a potentially harmful interaction with 64% confidence. Both MK-2866 and Oxandrolone carry hepatotoxic risk. Combining hepatotoxic compounds significantly increases liver damage potential. If unavoidable, include liver support (TUDCA/NAC) and monitor ALT/AST frequently. Both compounds affect the gonads and liver and heart, so monitoring these systems is recommended.

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.

Oxandrolone

Oral Anabolic Steroid | Lean Mass & Recovery

Oxandrolone exerts its anabolic effects primarily through binding to the intracellular androgen receptor (AR), promoting nitrogen retention and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle tissue. As a DHT derivative, it cannot be converted to estrogen by the aromatase enzyme, which means it does not cause estrogen-mediated water retention or gynecomastia.

Half-life: ~9-10 hours Typical dose: 20-50 mg/day (male), 5-20 mg/day (female) anabolic, healing
