    non-steroidal anti-androgen researched for treating androgenic alopecia

    RU58841 is a non-steroidal anti-androgen that is often researched for its potential to treat androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss). It works by binding to androgen receptors in the scalp, thereby preventing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from attaching to these receptors and causing hair follicle miniaturization.

      in Research/Science 1 month ago
      RU58841, an anti-androgenic compound, showed early promise for treating alopecia but faced challenges after its patent in 1997. Despite advancing to Phase II trials, safety concerns and financial struggles led Aventis to abandon its development. Proskelia, which later merged into ProStrakan, couldn't prioritize the drug, leading to its eventual stagnation and failure to reach the market.
