Primary entity: ACP-105Also known as: ACP105; ACP 105Class: performance-adjacent literacy (see page)Cluster: Performance-adjacent
ACP-105 is a lesser-known investigational selective androgen receptor modulator appearing in research-chemical and forum demand next to better-known SARMs. It is not a peptide, not FDA-approved, and falls under WADA’s SARM / other anabolic agents prohibitions even when a specific brand name is less famous than ostarine.
ACP-105 is not a peptide. It is a SARM-class AR ligand. Obscurity ≠ legality in sport.
Not FDA-approved. SARMs as a class are prohibited under S1.2; athletes must not assume an unnamed boutique SARM is allowed.
Key takeaways
- Not a peptide — investigational SARM.
- Not FDA-approved; thin public clinical footprint vs ostarine/LGD.
- WADA SARM-class risk
- No dosage charts.

Who is this profile for — and who is it not for?
For: readers who found ACP-105 on a research-chem menu and need class/sport literacy.
Not for: cycle designers.
What is ACP-105?
ACP-105 is a research SARM with less mainstream clinical publicity than enobosarm or LGD-4033. Lower fame does not mean lower anti-doping or quality risk.
| Chemistry class | Investigational SARM |
|---|---|
| Peptide? | No |
| Public clinical footprint | Thinner than ostarine/LGD |
| U.S. approval | Not approved |
| Sport | SARM-class WADA risk |
Also known as
- ACP-105 / ACP105 — research code.
- Mis-tags: “ACP peptide.”
Anti-doping labs expand panels continuously. Class bans and metabolite methods catch many analogues. Assume risk.
How is ACP-105 classified?
Investigational SARM — unapproved. Performance-adjacent literacy set.
What is ACP-105 not?
| ACP-105 is not… | Why that matters |
|---|---|
| A peptide | SARM |
| FDA-approved | No |
| “Safe because obscure” | False |
| Something we dose | Refusal |
How is ACP-105 thought to work?
Androgen-receptor selective modulation — standard SARM framing.
What human vs animal vs label evidence exists?
| Evidence type | What exists (summary) | Maturity |
|---|---|---|
| Human clinical | Limited public late-stage evidence vs major SARMs | None/Human thin |
| Preclinical | AR modulator research models | Animal/Cell |
| Approved label | None | None |
Prefer “thin public record” over invented trial claims.
What has ACP-105 been studied for?
Preclinical/research SARM characterization. Not an approved indication set.
What safety topics come up?
Apply SARM class literacy (HPTA, lipids, liver case-report themes, product identity risk). Sparse specific human PI. Not medical advice.
What is ACP-105's regulatory status?
- U.S.: Not FDA-approved; SARM supplement sales targeted by FDA class warnings.
- WADA: SARM class under S1.2 — confirm ACP-105 / metabolites on GlobalDRO
- Gray market: High identity uncertainty.
Why doesn't this page include a dosage chart?
Refused.

Frequently asked questions
Is ACP-105 a peptide?
No. It is a SARM.
Is it FDA approved?
No.
Is it safer because fewer people talk about it?
No. Obscurity is not a safety or legality feature.
WADA status?
Treat as SARM-class prohibited — verify GlobalDRO.
Not a peptide, not FDA-approved, WADA SARM-class risk. Disclaimer..
