In this study, Glycine soja Siebold et Zucc extracts promoted hair growth and increased cell activity in mice, suggesting potential use for alopecia treatment.
ET-02 is seen as promising for addressing hair loss and graying, but PP405 is more advanced in development and has better publicity. Some users plan to use both treatments alongside minoxidil and dutasteride.
ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
ET-02 showed significant hair growth in five weeks, outperforming minoxidil, with a non-hormonal mechanism that avoids side effects of treatments like finasteride. A phase 2 trial is planned to further assess ET-02's efficacy and safety.
ET-02 (RS 5441) shows promising results for hair growth, performing better in humans than in mice. There is debate over the effectiveness compared to minoxidil, with some users wanting more detailed data.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may work by blocking signals that cause hair cells to stop growing, requiring daily application for effectiveness. It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.
