P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
community Rhamnose-Mediated Modulation of Hair Follicle Growth: Insights from Chemical Genomics
Rhamnose may promote hair growth and pigmentation, suggesting it as a potential hair loss treatment. The conversation discusses its potential alongside known treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Natural/Herbal MPB Treatments
community It looks like Pelage are giving hints that PP405 is a game changer
PP405 is seen as a potential breakthrough for converting vellus hairs to terminal hairs, with users expressing both hope and skepticism. It is compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, with discussions on side effects and marketing concerns.
community Experience with CB (Breezula)?
CB 03 01 (Breezula) was tried for hair loss but showed no significant improvement, with issues in dissolving and application. Finasteride and dutasteride remain the most effective treatments, while minoxidil is also used; CB's effectiveness is questioned, and topical alternatives like bicalutamide are considered.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community If DHT blocking is not possible, what are your realistic option(s)?
Oral minoxidil is considered effective for regrowth but not prevention, while clascoterone and topical antiandrogens are recommended for preventing further hair loss. VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, shows promise in trials.
community Regimen proposal (incl. dut meso) (event industry)
A user in their early 20s is concerned about minor hair thinning and is considering a hair loss regimen involving PRP sessions, mesotherapy with dutasteride injections, and low-dose finasteride. They dislike minoxidil due to its greasiness and prefer a routine that is easy to maintain.
community Finasteride lowers free/bioavailable testosterone - why it is so essential we do better and find new non-systemic treatments
community Propylene glycol & seb derm: angel or devil??
community Any experiences with Ptd-dbm??
The user experienced reduced hair loss using an online serum but found it too expensive and is seeking a vendor for ptd-dbm. They are also interested in KY19382 but are unable to find it.
community Despite its straightforward mrchanism of action, it looks like pyrilitamide doesn't help regrow hair like finasteride does.
Pyrilitamide (KX-826) did not show significant improvement in hair count compared to placebo after 6 months. It's unclear if it can maintain hair at baseline.
community 5 alpha reductase type 1 is in brain tissue producing the main endogenous gabaergic allopregnanolone, not 2. How can finasteride as a 5ar2 lower that?
Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.

community Anagenic is trying to compound Gt20029
The conversation discusses concerns that Anagenic's version of GT20029 might not be as effective or safe as Kintor's, with comparisons to issues faced by pyrilutamide. The chemical structure of the drug has been published.
community If all these vellus hairs turn terminal I’m gonna be a chewbacca
The user is using minoxidil, finasteride, dermarolling, and other treatments for hair regrowth, showing promising results in the temple area. Despite some skepticism, there is optimism about potential improvement.
community Since there is so much hype for cosmeRNA and HMI-115...
Exploring different treatments for hair loss, such as cosmeRNA and HMI-115 which are small interference messenger RNA that inhibits the DHT receptor and an antibody that binds to the prolactin (PRL) receptor respectively; and researching mechanism and environment of hyperresponders.
community Natural finasteride for male deers
The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, including minoxidil and finasteride, with a satirical suggestion of using fence castration as a natural finasteride for male deer. Participants joke about the side effects and effectiveness of these treatments.
community Has anyone used this? Does it work? If not need an alternative
The conversation concludes that over-the-counter DHT blockers, like Saw Palmetto, are largely ineffective for hair loss. Finasteride and Minoxidil are recommended as more effective treatments.
community Why are there no meaningful baseline blood tests for pyrilutamide (KX-826) like there are for finasteride?
Finasteride reduces DHT production, so blood tests can track hormonal changes. Pyrilutamide blocks androgen receptors without altering hormone levels, making blood tests less useful for detecting its effects.
community Can someone help me understand this study?
community How cyproterone acetate and spironolactone come to my mind whenever I look in the mirror
The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, mentioning spironolactone and cyproterone acetate. It reflects a sense of frustration and satire about the effectiveness of these treatments.
community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
community Finasteride alternative close to fda approval in the US
Breezula, a topical treatment, is anticipated to be available in the US by mid-2027 as a potential alternative to finasteride with fewer systemic side effects. There is ongoing debate about its effectiveness and some users report similar side effects to finasteride.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
community Injectable and biofunctionalized fibrin hydrogels co-embedded with stem cells induce hair follicle genesis.
Fibrin hydrogels, when combined with stem cells, can induce hair follicle regeneration and show potential for treating alopecia. The study demonstrated successful hair growth in mice without adverse effects.
community PED users, how much test can you push before meds stop doing there job?
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride in blocking DHT for hair loss prevention, especially when using testosterone. Finasteride is less effective against DHT derivatives like anavar and tren.
community Groundbreaking sugar gel might be a miracle hair loss solution for men and women
A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.
