research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function

72 citations , January 2003 in “American Journal of Pathology”

This study found that the co-activator CBP enhances the agonistic action of hydroxyflutamide on androgen receptors, suggesting a mechanism for therapy resistance in prostate cancer.

research Flutamide

January 2025

Flutamide helps with prostate cancer and some skin conditions but can harm the liver.

research Long-term satisfaction and tolerability with low-dose flutamide: a 20-year surveillance study on 120 hyperandrogenic women

3 citations , May 2016 in “Gynecological Endocrinology”

This study found that while flutamide was very effective in improving hirsutism in women over long-term treatment, a high incidence of adverse effects led to a majority discontinuing the therapy.

research Incidence of liver toxicity associated with the use of flutamide in prostate cancer patients

116 citations , May 1992 in “The American Journal of Medicine”

This study found that flutamide-induced liver toxicity in prostate cancer patients was very rare, occurring in only 0.18% of cases with clinical manifestations, and symptoms resolved after discontinuing the drug.

research Hepatotoxicity with low- and ultralow-dose flutamide: a surveillance study on 203 hyperandrogenic young females

29 citations , July 2012 in “Fertility and Sterility”

This study observed that hepatotoxicity is a rare but possible event in hyperandrogenic young females treated with low- and ultralow-dose flutamide, regardless of dose or oral contraceptive use.

community Pyrilutamide for non-5AR users?

in Treatment 10 upvotes 1 year ago

Pyrilutamide is considered by some as an alternative for those avoiding 5AR inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride, but opinions on its effectiveness vary.

community I'm very skeptical about pyrilutamide

in Product 2 upvotes 7 months ago

Pyrilutamide's effectiveness is questioned due to overstated claims and previous trial ineffectiveness, with some users opting for finasteride instead. Despite skepticism, some consider adding pyrilutamide to their regimen alongside treatments like bicalutamide.

learn Fluridil

Topical anti-androgen sold as a cosmetic lotion

How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.
Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men; placebo-controlled for 3 months, then all on fluridil to 9 months) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.

learn Pyrilutamide

Experimental topical anti-androgen, also known as KX-826

Is pyrilutamide a safer alternative to oral antiandrogens like finasteride? Pyrilutamide (KX-826) is an unapproved, investigational topical antiandrogen whose safety data come from short-term sponsor announcements, not peer-reviewed studies. No study has compared it with finasteride, so there is no evidence that it is safer.
Can pyrilutamide be used by both men and women, or only in specific cases? Pyrilutamide (KX-826) is an investigational topical anti-androgen that has been trialled in men and women but is not approved for hair loss anywhere. Its sponsor reports one failed (2023) and one successful (2026) Phase III in men, none of it peer-reviewed; long-term safety is unknown, and anti-androgens are not considered appropriate in pregnancy.

learn Exosomes

What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil is a topical anti-androgen sold in some European countries. One small 2002 trial led by its developer reported more hairs in the growth phase; it is not FDA-approved and the evidence is limited.
