PP405 is a topical gel being tested for hair regrowth in adults with androgenetic alopecia. Volunteers aged 18-55 are needed for a 16-week trial in several US locations.
A 15% discount is offered on hair research products like RU58841 and TEMPOL at Chemyo.com. The legality of selling these compounds is confirmed by the seller.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals announced positive Phase 2a trial results for PP405 in hair loss therapy. The conversation discusses the delay in publishing full results and the need for further trials and approvals.
Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.
The user switched from minoxidil to a homemade 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel and noticed no hair fall after two weeks, despite stopping minoxidil. The gel includes water, 2-deoxy-d-ribose, vegetable glycerine, 2-phenoxyethanol, sodium alginate, and rosemary oil, and the user reports healthier-feeling hair.
The user is considering adding Stemoxydine to their hair loss regimen, as they already use topical finasteride with rosemary and cannot use Minoxidil. They are seeking feedback on Stemoxydine and Alphatradiol, and another user mentions 2-deoxy-d-ribose as a potential option.
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
The efficacy of degrading the androgen receptor through dermal application in DP cells, a delivery system for topical drugs that involves dissolving microneedles, and rosemary oil as an alternative anti-androgen.
Alfatradiol (0.025%) is an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, increasing anagen hair rates with minimal side effects. Users discuss its cost-effectiveness and ease of use compared to other treatments like finasteride and RU58841, with some combining it with stemoxydine and Minoxidil.
The conversation discusses the delay in the PP405 Phase 2 study results, now expected by the end of 2025, and skepticism about research practices. There is also mention of optimism for Amplifica's AMP303 and a topical treatment in early testing.
Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
PP405 may promote short-term hair growth by pushing follicles into the growth phase, but concerns exist about long-term effects due to lack of rest phases. Users discuss various treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, spironolactone, alfatradiol, and investigational drugs like KX-826 and GT20029 for hair maintenance and regrowth.
PP405 shows promise for hair regrowth by manipulating stem cell characteristics and lactate dehydrogenase, with Phase 2a trials pending. Google Ventures' $15M investment suggests confidence, but results and market availability remain uncertain.
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
PP405 shows promise in treating severe hair loss, with 31% of users experiencing over 20% hair density increase in four weeks, faster than minoxidil and finasteride. Some users are skeptical about the results' significance and long-term efficacy.
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.
The conversation is about when GT20029, a hair loss treatment, might be available on the grey market, with users discussing the challenges of compounding it and speculating it might be available after phase 2 results, similar to pyri. Specific treatments mentioned are pyri, RU58841, and GT20029.
The user is using 5% minoxidil, 1mg finasteride, and a 1.5mm dermaroller 1-2 times a week for hair growth, noting improved growth speed and density. They avoid applying minoxidil immediately after dermarolling due to skin irritation.
PP405 and GT20029 are new hair loss treatments with different mechanisms from traditional options like Minoxidil and Finasteride. PP405 targets hair follicle stem cells to reactivate growth, while GT20029 works as an androgen receptor deleter, both requiring ongoing use for effectiveness.
Hmi115, a prolactin receptor blocker, showed promise for hair growth, but results from Phase 2 trials have not been published. ABS-201, an AI-based analog, is expected to begin trials in December 2025, while commercialization of treatments like PP-405 is anticipated around 2027.
The trial for TDM-105795 has been completed, and it was in phase 2A. The discussion seeks input on the next phases, 2B or 3, based on safety and efficacy.
Concerns about CosmeRNA safety mechanisms and potential side effects. Discussion includes comparisons to Fluridil and questions about nanoparticle specificity and siRNA stability.
Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.
Genetic variations influence how people respond to dutasteride for hair loss, with some benefiting more from finasteride. Dutasteride is effective for most, but genetic differences may cause it to be less effective for some.
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically mentioning Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and TB-500 Thymosin Beta-4. It critiques the credibility of biohacking claims.
