Did you mean Small Molecule Inhibitor?

Glossary Small Molecule Inhibitor

blocks specific proteins or enzymes within cells

A Small Molecule Inhibitor (SMI) is a type of drug that can enter cells easily due to its low molecular weight and can interfere with specific proteins or enzymes to block their activity. These inhibitors are often used in treatments for various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders, by targeting and disrupting specific pathways that contribute to disease progression.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community What is the ultimate hair regrowth protocol

29 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation covers aggressive hair regrowth treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. It also mentions PRP, laser therapy, GHK-Cu injections, and hormone therapy for maximum regrowth.

community Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) increase comparasion of all future treatments in clinical trial phases

in Research/Science 35 upvotes 2 years ago

Finasteride, Minoxidil, Bioneer CosmeRNA, Technoderma, Kintor, Hope, Breezula, and Follicum treatments showed increases in hair count, with Technoderma showing the highest increase at 24.3 hairs/cm². Amplifica has not yet published results.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
