SLU-PP-332
★ 55Saint Louis University Pan-ERR Agonist 332
Exercise-mimetic ERR agonist for endurance and fat loss
Fat LossAbout
SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic small-molecule pan-agonist of the estrogen-related receptors (ERRα/β/γ), nuclear receptors that drive mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism. By directly activating the same transcriptional program triggered by endurance exercise, it raises oxidative muscle fiber content and energy expenditure without mechanical loading. It is approximately 4-fold more potent at ERRα than ERRγ, favoring muscle and metabolic tissue effects. Despite striking rodent efficacy, no human trials exist as of 2026.
Mechanism
Pan-agonism of ERRα/β/γ nuclear receptors increases mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty-acid oxidation, and type IIa oxidative muscle-fiber formation — reproducing the transcriptional signature of aerobic exercise.

Morning dosing preferred to avoid sleep disruption from stimulatory effects. BID protocols split morning and early afternoon.
6-8 week cycles aligned with published chronic mouse studies; 4-week breaks recommended between cycles.
Reconstitution & Storage
Inject BAC water slowly down vial wall; swirl gently. Protect reconstituted solution from light — deepening yellow color indicates oxidation, replace if observed.
Lyophilized: months refrigerated, longer at -20°C. Reconstituted: 2-8°C light-protected, 2-4 weeks. Oral tablets: room temperature, dry, dark.
Benefits
- • 25-30% fat-mass reduction in diet-induced obese mice (28 days)
- • Increased treadmill endurance and oxidative muscle fiber content
- • Improved glucose tolerance without altered food intake
- • Improved cardiac ejection fraction in heart-failure mouse models
- • Restored mitochondrial function in aging kidney models
Side effects
- • Sleep disruption and stimulatory effects
- • Increased resting heart rate
- • Appetite changes (community reports)
- • Unknown chronic cardiovascular risk
- • Uncertain cancer-metabolism interactions (ERRα implicated in some tumor pathways)
Contraindications
- • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- • Age under 18
- • Active or recent cancer history
- • Cardiovascular disease, arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension
- • Significant liver or kidney impairment
- • WADA-tested competitive athletes (falls under S4.5 metabolic modulators)
- • Concurrent stimulants without clinical oversight
Gender notes
Men
Standard dosing applies. Popular in endurance and body-recomposition stacks.
Women
Standard dosing applies. ERR receptors are not estrogen receptors despite the name — no direct hormonal effect, but no female-specific human data exists.
