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 positive initial trial results for GT20029, a topical compound for hair loss that degrades androgenreceptors, potentially requiring only weekly application. Participants express hope for this treatment to be more effective and convenient than current options like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
User asks about topical spironolactone experience. Two studies show it as promising anti-androgen treatment, with 5% cream available on Minoxidilmax website.
Minoxidil may inhibit androgenreceptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
RU and Pyri block androgenreceptors to prevent hair loss but may also hinder hair regrowth since they prevent testosterone, which can stimulate hair growth, from binding to these receptors. The user is questioning if this understanding is correct.
Dutasteride may inhibit androgenreceptors in addition to reducing DHT, potentially explaining its effectiveness over finasteride for hair loss. Concerns about its impact on muscle growth are debated, with some suggesting no significant effects.
The conversation is about the effectiveness and production of GT20029, a drug being developed as a topicalandrogenreceptor degrader for hair loss, and whether it can fully degrade androgenreceptors or only partially. It also discusses the drug's potential unique working mechanism and synthesis by a company called Anagen.
Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgenreceptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, Alfatradiol, and Eucapil. Topical treatments must penetrate skin and may go systemic, with effectiveness varying.
The relative strength of Pyrilutamide compared to RU58841 in terms of androgenreceptor binding affinity. It has been noted that Pyrilutamide is 4x stronger than RU58841, with a higher binding affinity than DHT itself.
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.
The conversation discusses a last-resort hair loss treatment combining topical finasteride, minoxidil, melatonin, and progesterone, with claims that topical finasteride can inhibit up to 52% of scalp DHT. One reply clarifies that progesterone is not an anti-androgen but has anti-androgenic properties because it competes with androgens for receptors.
Clascoterone shows promising results for hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with potential FDA approval by 2026. It acts as a topicalandrogenreceptor blocker, offering a new treatment option with minimal side effects compared to existing treatments like finasteride.
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 topicalandrogenreceptor blockers like RU58841, pyrilutamide, or clascoterone to address potential androgenreceptor hypersensitivity.
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.
RU58841 is discussed as a topical anti-androgen for hair loss, but its effectiveness and safety are not well-documented, leading to mixed opinions and experiences among users. Some combine it with finasteride, but concerns about side effects and lack of FDA approval limit its popularity.
The post is about whether there is any additional benefit to using alfatradiol or other estrogen treatments for hair loss if someone is already using finasteride, dutasteride, or an androgenreceptor inhibitor like RU58841, pyrithione zinc, or fluridil.
The potential effectiveness of homemade topical spironolactone in treating hair loss, with studies suggesting it is more effective than finasteride and even minoxidil when used as monotherapy. The conversation also mentions that other anti-androgens are being developed which may soon hit the market.
Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.
Pyrilutimide and CB-03-01, two treatments for hair loss, have similar clinical trial results despite different binding affinities to androgenreceptors. Factors other than binding affinity, like the time a drug stays bound to the receptor, may influence their effectiveness.
The conversation discusses alternatives to RU58841 for hair loss treatment, with suggestions including topical spironolactone, peppermint and rosemary oils, and saw palmetto. The user also considers ordering RU58841 from China but finds it too expensive.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgenreceptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
The conversation discusses the potential of developing a selective oral SARM to target androgen activity in the scalp and skin, as an alternative to oral Dutasteride and Finasteride, which have systemic side effects. It also mentions Clascoterone and RU58841 as topical treatments for hair loss.
Combining spironolactone with koshine might enhance the effect of blocking androgenreceptors for hair loss treatment. The user suggests adding crushed spironolactone pills to koshine.
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and AndrogenReceptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
Using high doses of testosterone with RU58841 to create an androgen-free environment for hair regrowth is suggested, but concerns about heart health and the effectiveness of this approach are raised. Alternatives like topical estrogen, progesterone, and other treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are discussed.
The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.
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.
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.
