    non-steroidal anti-androgen researched for treating androgenic alopecia

    RU58841 is a non-steroidal anti-androgen that is often researched for its potential to treat androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss). It works by binding to androgen receptors in the scalp, thereby preventing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from attaching to these receptors and causing hair follicle miniaturization.
