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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Fluridil, also known as Topilutamide or Eucapil, is discussed as a treatment for hair loss. It is noted as an androgenreceptor antagonist, not a vasodilator.
Kintor's GT20029, a treatment for hair loss, has completed Phase 1 successfully, showing promise as an androgenreceptor degrader that could potentially regrow hair. It is considered more effective than Pyrilutamide, with infrequent dosing and minimal systemic absorption.
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgenreceptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
The conversation discusses the potential of a new hair loss treatment, GT20029, which may prevent hair loss by destroying androgenreceptors on the scalp. Users express hope for the treatment's success and speculate on its usage routine, effectiveness, and possible side effects.
KX-826 is a potential hair loss treatment, with users discussing its effectiveness compared to finasteride and concerns about its trial results. Some users express skepticism about new treatments, while others discuss the potential of androgenreceptor degraders and the need to manage drug resistance.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, and Nizoral shampoo. Nizoral's effectiveness is debated, with some suggesting it works as a weak antagonist for androgenreceptors, while others attribute its benefits to anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
The conversation discusses the removal of Breezula phase II 12-month results by Cassiopea and the search for the original data. Concerns were raised about potential negative long-term effects on hair growth, such as androgenreceptor upregulation.
The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgenreceptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.
