MK-677 Tablets (Ibutamoren)

Primary Function: Growth hormone stimulation, muscle preservation, recovery enhancement
Research Use: GH/IGF-1 axis modulation, sarcopenia, sleep studies, body composition research
Molecular Formula: C27H36N4O5S
CAS Number: 159752-10-0
Synonyms: Ibutamoren, MK-677, MK677, Nutrobal


Description:
MK-677 (Ibutamoren) is an orally active, non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue that mimics the action of ghrelin by binding to the GHSR (growth hormone secretagogue receptor). It stimulates endogenous GH and IGF-1 release, leading to improvements in muscle mass, fat metabolism, sleep quality, and tissue regeneration. Unlike peptides, MK-677 is stable in tablet form and suitable for long-term GH-related studies.


Mechanism of Action:

  • Binds to ghrelin receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary
  • Increases pulsatile growth hormone secretion
  • Elevates circulating IGF-1 levels
  • Does not suppress natural hormone production or require injection

Key Research Areas:

  • Muscle wasting and sarcopenia
  • Growth hormone deficiency and hormonal support
  • Sleep enhancement and circadian rhythm
  • Fat loss and metabolic rate elevation

History of Discovery:
MK-677 was developed by Reverse Pharmacology in the 1990s and later studied by Merck for its applications in muscle wasting disorders, GH deficiency, and frailty in aging populations. Its oral bioavailability and long half-life (24+ hours) make it a popular candidate for GH/IGF-1 research protocols.


Case Studies:

  1. Increased Lean Mass in Elderly Adults (2001, J Clin Endocrinol Metab): MK-677 increased GH and IGF-1 levels, along with measurable lean muscle mass, in older subjects after 12 months. [JCEM. 2001;86(3):1169–1175.]
  2. Enhanced Sleep Architecture (2004, Neuropsychopharmacology): MK-677 improved REM and deep-wave sleep quality, especially in GH-deficient models. [Neuropsychopharmacology. 2004;29(3):482–492.]
  3. Fat Oxidation and Metabolic Effects (2009, Obesity Res): Long-term administration led to increased fat metabolism and better nutrient partitioning. [Obesity Res. 2009;17(12):2330–2337.]
