5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why Cant we just find an effective androgen receptor antagonist that works locally on the scalp?
Researching and developing an effective local antagonist to block the androgen receptors for hair loss, as opposed to using DHT synthesis inhibitors that lower serum DHT levels. Several treatments such as CosmeRNA and Pyrilutamide are currently in development or undergoing trials.
community Is there any role for topical DHT antagonists, or does a 5-AR inhibitor remove the need for them as therapy
Topical androgen receptor antagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
community How is the GT20029 different to pyrilutamide as an androgenic antagonist
GT20029 and pyrilutamide are both androgen antagonists but work differently; GT20029 degrades the androgen receptor, while pyrilutamide blocks DHT from binding. GT20029 is expected to have similar efficacy to CosmeRNA.
community Anyone know by what percentage Pyrilutamide or Ru decrease your androgens?
Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.
community New Approach to Ketoconazole or just waste of time?
The post discusses using 2% ketoconazole shampoo as a competitive androgen receptor antagonist for hair loss, applied for 1.5 hours daily. The user questions its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to finasteride and minoxidil.
