SR9011
SR9011
SR9011 (/ɛs ɑːr naɪn əʊ wʌn əʊ wʌn/) is a synthetic REV-ERB agonist that has been shown to influence circadian rhythms and metabolism in experimental studies.
Etymology
The term "SR9011" is derived from the initials of the Scripps Research Institute, where the compound was first developed, and a numerical designation.
Description
SR9011 is a synthetic compound that acts as an agonist to the REV-ERB proteins, which are part of the nuclear receptor family. These proteins play a crucial role in regulating the body's internal clock or circadian rhythm. By binding to these receptors, SR9011 can influence the body's metabolic processes and potentially affect conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and sleep disorders.
