TLDR RU 58841 may treat acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
The paper introduces a new topical antiandrogen called RU 58841 that has potential to treat acne, androgenetic alopecia, and hirsutism. It has a high affinity for androgen receptors and causes regression of the flank organ area without affecting deep accessory sex organs or testosterone levels. RU 58841 is a safe and effective topical antiandrogen that targets androgen receptors in the skin. It shows promise as a treatment for acne, androgenetic alopecia, and hirsutism. Further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in humans.
