RU58841 Powder by MinoxidilMax is a raw product containing 5% RU58841, a nonsteroidal anti-androgen (NSAA). It was developed for potential therapeutic applications in conditions driven by androgens, such as acne, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia. Clinical studies have shown that applying 5% RU58841 twice daily can stimulate hair growth.
RU58841 works by binding to androgen receptors and inhibiting the effects of endogenous androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Unlike finasteride or dutasteride, which reduce DHT levels by inhibiting 5α-Reductase, RU58841 competes for androgen receptors without decreasing DHT levels, potentially avoiding systemic effects on male sexual functionality.
