SLU-PP-332

SLU-PP-332

Also known as: SLUPP332, SLU PP 332, ERRγ agonist, exercise mimetic

Overview

Key Facts

Primary Goal: Research and therapeutic applications of SLU-PP-332

Selectively activates estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) in skeletal muscle. Upregulates genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation.

Dosing Information

Half-Life

~4-6 hours (estimated from animal pharmacokinetic data)

Typical Dose

10–50 mg

Frequency

Once daily (research dosing, not established for humans)

Cycle Length

4-8 weeks (based on animal study durations)

Administration Routes:
subcutaneousoral

Benefits

  • Mimics exercise-induced metabolic adaptations without physical activity
  • Promotes shift toward slow-twitch (type I) oxidative muscle fibres
  • Enhances mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative capacity
  • Increases fat oxidation and energy expenditure
  • Improves exercise endurance and fatigue resistance
  • May protect against obesity and metabolic dysfunction

Side Effects

Limited human safety data (preclinical compound)mild
Potential hormonal interactions via estrogen-related receptor pathwaysmild
Unknown long-term effects on muscle and metabolismmild
Possible gastrointestinal discomfortmild
Risk of unintended gene expression changesmild

Mechanism of Action

1

Selectively activates estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) in skeletal muscle

2

Upregulates genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation

3

Promotes type I (slow-twitch) muscle fibre gene expression programs

4

Enhances fatty acid oxidation pathways similar to endurance exercise adaptations

5

Activates PGC-1α-related transcriptional programs for metabolic remodeling

Contraindications

Do not use this peptide if any of the following apply:

  • Not approved for human use — research compound only
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Hormone-sensitive conditions
  • Unknown drug interactions
  • Pre-existing liver or kidney conditions (no human safety data)

Storage & Reconstitution

Research Summary

Preclinical

Developed by Dr. Thomas Bhurrows lab at Saint Louis University, SLU-PP-332 was published in 2023 showing it activates ERRγ to replicate key metabolic benefits of exercise in mouse models. Treated mice showed increased slow-twitch muscle fibres, enhanced endurance capacity, and resistance to diet-induced obesity without changes in physical activity. The compound represents a new class of exercise mimetics targeting nuclear hormone receptors rather than traditional peptide pathways. Still in early preclinical stages with no human clinical trials initiated.
