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 The story of RU58841/ PSK3841
RU58841, a potential hair loss treatment, was not commercialized due to marketability issues and lack of long-term safety data. Concerns about its formulation and delivery methods further complicate its use.
community What’s better dutasteride or finasteride?
Dutasteride is seen as more effective than finasteride for hair loss but may have more side effects and a longer half-life. Some start with finasteride for fewer side effects, while others switch to dutasteride for better results.
community Switching to Oral from Topical min effective or not
Switching from topical to oral minoxidil may lead to better results for some users, with oral minoxidil generally being more effective due to higher absorption. However, it can also cause side effects like hypertrichosis and blood pressure issues, and individual responses may vary.
