GT20029 is discussed as a potential treatment for androgenetic hair loss by targeting androgen receptors, unlike finasteride which reduces DHT broadly. Concerns include its effectiveness, genetic variations in androgen receptors, and availability, with some skepticism about its potential as a true alternative.
OP is looking for ethanol to make a topical finasteride solution for hair loss treatment. Users suggest using Everclear or Spirytus as alternatives for ethanol.
The user is seeking help with using Ell-Cranell for hair loss treatment. They are unsure about the correct application method and dosage. They also inquire about combining microneedling with topical alfatradiol and question a study that referred to alfatradiol as a hair growth inhibitor in male mice.
A user is experiencing facial bloating from low-dose topical finasteride due to high estradiol levels and is seeking advice on using DIM to manage this issue, including dosage and brand recommendations.
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
The conversation discusses verteporfin as a potential treatment for hair regeneration, which could lead to unlimited hair transplants by healing the donor area. Some users are considering using verteporfin now, while others are hopeful it will be available for future hair transplants.
The conversation is about the potential benefits of Rapamycin for hair pigmentation and regeneration, based on effects observed in mice. The original poster is seeking personal experiences from others using Rapamycin for longevity.
The conversation discusses the sale of a premixed KY19382 solution for research purposes, highlighting previous unsuccessful group buys and the formulation process. Prices and purchasing options for KY19382 solutions and powder are provided.
The conversation is about finding a legitimate online source for 17α-estradiol (Alfatradiol) powder to make a 0.1% solution for hair loss treatment. A user suggests Anagenica as a source.
The conversation discusses two methods for making topical finasteride: using ethanol and propylene glycol or mixing it with topical minoxidil. The focus is on solubility and absorption, with a suggestion to crush pills finely and possibly mix with minoxidil at a slightly elevated temperature.
Switching to a DIY topical finasteride solution using ethanol, glycerin, and distilled water instead of propylene glycol for a gentler application. Users report positive results with both DIY solutions and a low PG minoxidil and finasteride product from India.
The conversation is about a user experiencing hair thinning and considering exosome treatment after being advised against a hair transplant. The user seeks advice from others who may have tried exosomes for hair loss.
The conversation is about creating a DIY topical finasteride solution using ethyl alcohol and propylene glycol. A user suggests using a compounding pharmacy instead.
ET-02 (RS 5441) shows promising results for hair growth, performing better in humans than in mice. There is debate over the effectiveness compared to minoxidil, with some users wanting more detailed data.
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
A user is discussing making a DIY topical finasteride solution using ingredients like water, alcohol, propylene glycol, ethanol, and glycerin, and is concerned about the stability of the mixture. Other users suggest that the solution will work and discuss the importance of propylene glycol for drug dissolution and factors like temperature and light affecting finasteride stability.
Hope Medicine's HMI-115 is expected to be released in 2027, with phase 3 trials currently recruiting. Concerns include the safety of targeting prolactin and the potential cost of the treatment.
User discusses using trichosol as a vehicle for hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. They ask about others' experiences and the stability of the solutions.
SCUBE3 is available online but poses risks like tumor promotion and high costs. Users advise against using it due to health concerns and inefficacy as a standalone treatment.
The conversation discusses the use of Finastopic, a carrier for finasteride solutions by Isdin, and compares it to a standard propylene glycol (PG) solution. The user was prescribed a 1% finasteride solution using Finastopic and has been using a self-compounded 0.025% topical finasteride with minoxidil.
A user is interested in Absci's AI-driven antibody platform, ABS-201, for treating androgenetic alopecia, which shows promising preclinical results and potential for hair regrowth and pigmentation restoration. However, concerns are raised about the drug's development timeline and its advantages compared to existing treatments.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
Hair loss therapies focusing on hair follicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
GT20029 and CosmeRNA are both potential hair loss treatments; GT20029 breaks down the androgen receptor, while CosmeRNA prevents its production. Continuous use is needed, but less frequently than current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
The conversation is about adding a low dose of pyrilutamide to a hair loss treatment regimen. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
