Clascoterone 1% cream is a promising new treatment for acne.
research Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Androgen Receptor Antagonists
Anti-androgen drugs can treat conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness by blocking effects of testosterone and DHT.
research Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 3-oxo-4-oxa-5α-androst-17β-amide derivatives as dual 5α-reductase inhibitors and androgen receptor antagonists
New compounds were made that are promising for prostate cancer therapy.

research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Dutasteride: More Than a DHT Reducer – A Potential Androgen Receptor Inhibitor?
Dutasteride may inhibit androgen receptors in addition to reducing DHT, potentially explaining its effectiveness over finasteride for hair loss. Concerns about its impact on muscle growth are debated, with some suggesting no significant effects.
community 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 Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community Any point in Pantostin (Alfatradiol) if you're already on some anti-androgen?
The post is about whether there is any additional benefit to using alfatradiol or other estrogen treatments for hair loss if someone is already using finasteride, dutasteride, or an androgen receptor inhibitor like RU58841, pyrithione zinc, or fluridil.
