community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
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.
community 28M experiencing thinning - first timer here, please help
A 28-year-old male experiencing hair thinning is considering minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil helps regrow hair, while finasteride prevents further loss; both are usually lifelong treatments.
community Hormonal panel after 1 year of treatment - DHT levels doubled!!
A 27-year-old man shared his hormonal panel results after one year of taking finasteride 1mg/day for hair loss, showing his DHT levels nearly doubled. He reported stabilized hair loss with mild side effects that resolved, and he is considering a hair transplant but is concerned about the increased DHT levels and potential treatment options.
community Green tea/ soy Isoflavones supplements for MPB
Green tea extract and soy isoflavones may help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT and providing additional health benefits. Combining these with finasteride and possibly using nizoral shampoo could enhance effectiveness in managing hair loss.
community My experience with Pyrilutamide
Two different experiences of using Pyrilutamide, a hair loss treatment, which caused headaches that took around a week to subside in both cases. Other users offered insight into their own experiences with the treatment or suggested alternate treatments such as RU58841 and Minoxidil.
