Timeline
Compounding and research-use sellers
- Category 2 is the FDA's list of bulk substances it flagged as raising significant safety concerns. Compounding pharmacies are not expected to compound from them while they are on it.
- The Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) advises the FDA on which substances belong on the 503A bulks list that pharmacies may compound from. Its votes are advice; the FDA decides.
- "Research use only" products are sold outside these rules and are not checked by the FDA for identity, purity or dose.
Sport and drug testing
WADA status unclearSLU-PP-332 is not named. S4.4 lists AMPK activators, PPAR-delta agonists and Rev-erb agonists; SLU-PP-332 is an ERR agonist, which the list does not mention. This is not named on the 2026 list. The catch-all class S0 prohibits any drug with no approval anywhere for human use, so it would be banned if no health authority has approved it, but we have not verified that for this substance.

How the anti-doping list treats it
WADA's catch-all class S0 prohibits substances with no current approval by any governmental regulatory health authority for human therapeutic use; SLU-PP-332 is not named on the list, and whether S0 applies depends on approval status.[1]
A doping-control paper states that WADA prohibits exercise mimetics and metabolic modulators and describes SLU-PP-332 as a small synthetic ERR agonist.[7]
