    blocks specific proteins or enzymes within cells

    A Small Molecule Inhibitor (SMI) is a type of drug that can enter cells easily due to its low molecular weight and can interfere with specific proteins or enzymes to block their activity. These inhibitors are often used in treatments for various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders, by targeting and disrupting specific pathways that contribute to disease progression.

      community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride

      in Research/Science  6 upvotes 1 year ago
      Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.

      community Rosemary oil's potency as a dht blocker

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 2 years ago
      Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.

      community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 8 months ago
      PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.
