How is the GT20029 different to pyrilutamide as an androgenic antagonist Research/Science 1/14/2025
GT20029 and pyrilutamide are both androgen antagonists but work differently; GT20029 degrades the androgen receptor, while pyrilutamide blocks DHT from binding. GT20029 is expected to have similar efficacy to CosmeRNA.

The conversation discusses topical androgen receptor blockers for hair loss, mentioning Clascoterone, Pyrilutamide, GT20029, and RU58841. Ketoconazole's effectiveness and application methods are also debated.
community Why Cant we just find an effective androgen receptor antagonist that works locally on the scalp?
Researching and developing an effective local antagonist to block the androgen receptors for hair loss, as opposed to using DHT synthesis inhibitors that lower serum DHT levels. Several treatments such as CosmeRNA and Pyrilutamide are currently in development or undergoing trials.
community If we lose hair because of our sensitivity to DHT, then why are we trying to reduce DHT when our sensitive androgen receptors are the culprit?
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgen receptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.

community Please explain this Minoxidil phenomena
The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
