Pyrilutamide is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, acting as an androgenreceptor antagonist. The conversation questions if it can maintain hair long-term without using finasteride.
Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgenreceptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a compound by Kintor Pharma that degrades androgenreceptors and is in trials, with potential as a hair loss cure. Another promising treatment mentioned is an antibody that blocks prolactin and has shown positive results in macaques.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, AndrogenReceptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
GT20029 is a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, addressing the root cause by targeting androgenreceptors, unlike Minoxidil or Finasteride. It is seen as a preventative measure rather than a regrowth agent, with hopes for market release soon.
Chinese company gets green light for Pyrilutamide Phase II trial for androgenetic alopecia. Androgenreceptors downregulate in androgen deficient environments.
The conversation discusses using ketoconazole, an anti-androgen, for hair loss and whether mesotherapy with dermarolling could enhance its absorption into the scalp. The user questions if the typical 2% ketoconazole shampoo dose would be effective when used after dermarolling to target androgenreceptors in the scalp.
Quercetin might help with hair loss by inhibiting HSP-70, which increases androgenreceptors. Concerns include its staining properties and unclear topical absorption.
The conversation discusses using finasteride or dutasteride to reduce DHT, CosmeRNA to target androgenreceptors, and Minoxidil as a vasodilator for hair growth. The regimen aims to maintain hair by addressing DHT-AR ratio and continuous Minoxidil use.
The conversation discusses GT20029 as a potential hair loss treatment that could act like a cure by targeting androgenreceptors in scalp hair follicles. Specific treatments mentioned include GT20029, with a user expressing hope that it could make male pattern baldness obsolete.
Cutting sugar may not significantly impact hair loss, as DHT and androgenreceptors are the main issues. Effective treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil, often combined with microneedling.
The conversation discusses maintaining hair regrowth using minoxidil and finasteride and whether using gt20029, which degrades androgenreceptors, would affect this. Fluridil, a similar treatment, can disable over 90% of active androgenreceptors.
GT20029 shows promise as a topical treatment for hair loss, potentially replacing finasteride for some due to its low systemic exposure and ability to degrade androgenreceptors. However, skepticism remains about its long-term efficacy and availability, with some users expressing doubt about new treatments consistently failing to reach the market.
GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgenreceptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
Clascoterone 5% solution shows strong potential for hair growth, offering a new treatment for alopecia with minimal side effects. It blocks androgenreceptors locally and may be available by late 2026 or early 2027.
Clascoterone shows promising results for hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with potential FDA approval by 2026. It acts as a topical androgenreceptor blocker, offering a new treatment option with minimal side effects compared to existing treatments like finasteride.
Some people have side effects from finasteride and dutasteride due to hormonal predisposition, especially if DHT dominant. Alternatives like RU58841, Pyrilutamide, and Breezula are suggested to target scalp androgenreceptors without altering overall hormones.
RU58841 is discussed as a hair loss treatment, with concerns about its effectiveness diminishing after two years due to androgenreceptor upregulation. The user is hesitant to start using it, fearing it may worsen their condition over time.
A 27-year-old male is experiencing a recurring pattern of hair loss after 5 months of using oral minoxidil and finasteride, despite initial success. He is considering using topical androgenreceptor blockers like RU58841, pyrilutamide, or clascoterone to address potential androgenreceptor hypersensitivity.
KX-826 is being discussed for hair loss treatment, with users debating between 0.5% and 0.9% solutions and foam. Some report side effects like headaches, while others see no changes; it blocks androgenreceptors without reducing DHT levels.
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 androgenreceptor deleter, both requiring ongoing use for effectiveness.
RU58841 worsened hair condition, causing thinning and unusual patterns. The user stopped using it two months ago but hasn't seen recovery, and there's speculation about androgenreceptor upregulation.
Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgenreceptors. 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.
Exploring hair loss treatments beyond DHT, including Minoxidil, pyruvate, Gt20029 targeting androgenreceptors, and vasodilators. Other options like Kx826, adenosine signaling, growth factor topicals, and microneedling are also discussed.
A user is experiencing continued hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil, and is seeking advice on why the treatments aren't working and how to address potential androgenreceptor sensitivity. Replies suggest getting tested and considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP).
The conversation discusses doubts about the effectiveness of topical finasteride for hair loss, suggesting that DHT could be produced elsewhere in the body and affect the scalp. It proposes that androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and clascoterone might be more effective as they could prevent this potential bypass mechanism.
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgenreceptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgenreceptor antagonist.
