community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature
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.
community Binding affinity does not equal potency for anti androgens? Comparing pyrilutimide to cb-03-01
Pyrilutimide and CB-03-01, two treatments for hair loss, have similar clinical trial results despite different binding affinities to androgen receptors. Factors other than binding affinity, like the time a drug stays bound to the receptor, may influence their effectiveness.
community EveryChem 3HP / PP30 page data vs NMR PDFs in their website : metadata mistake or document mismatch?
There is an inconsistency between the molecular weight and formula listed on EveryChem's product page and the analytical PDFs for 3HP and PP30, suggesting a possible error in the product description. Concerns are raised about EveryChem's business practices and lack of transparency in testing and manufacturing.
community If inhibiting DHT can cause Prolactin to increase then is the opposite also true?
The conversation discusses using P5P (Vitamin B6) supplements to reduce elevated Prolactin levels and concerns about its potential effect on increasing DHT levels. The user is not currently using finasteride or any anti-androgens.
community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
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.
community About to order topical finasteride from compounding pharma what carrier should I choose?
A user is considering ordering topical finasteride with castor and rosemary oil from a Turkish pharmacy. They are debating whether to include the oils or use only PG and ethanol as the carrier.
community Further prolactin research....
HMI 115 did not work as expected for hair regrowth in humans, unlike in macaque monkeys. There is anticipation for further research on prolactin's role in hair loss, with expectations that pharmaceutical companies will likely solve this before universities.
community Reason why placebo group got regrow on trial phase 3
Placebo hair regrowth might be influenced by propylene glycol in lotions or participants lying about using other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or microneedling. Being part of a study can also improve hair health due to lifestyle changes.
community Is anyone taking both boron and p5p to lower SHBG and Prolactin respectively? What are you experience on this?
The user is applying topical finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and has noticed hair thickening but no regrowth after two months. They also report high SHBG and prolactin levels and a lack of morning erections, even on low doses of medication.
community AttentionHomemade Topical Fin Users- requesting Feedback
A user is seeking feedback on a homemade topical finasteride formula for hair loss, consisting of 7.5 mg of finasteride, propylene glycol, ethanol, and distilled water. They aim to achieve a 0.0125% solution by applying 2 ml daily.
community Shower thought: at least this might be the last year we don't have Phase 2 results.
New hair loss treatments, including Breezula, VDPHL01, and PP405, are nearing Phase 3 trials, offering hope for effective solutions. Current treatments like finasteride and minoxidil remain effective, but early intervention is crucial.
community US FDA will now default to only one clinical trial for drug applications, will this accelerate the release of PP405 and other drugs in clinical trials?
