NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), with potential
tissue-selective androgenic/anti-androgenic activity. Upon oral administration, LY2452473
acts as an agonist in select tissues and organs, including skeletal muscle, bone and
the penis, thereby binding to and activating androgen receptor (AR) while acting as
an antagonist in the prostate, thereby blocking AR activation and AR-mediated cellular
proliferation. This may improve muscle mass and strength, bone formation, and erectile
dysfunction while not stimulating growth of the prostate.;
