RU58841

RU58841 is a non-steroidal antiandrogenic medication that was initially developed in the 1980s as a topical treatment remedy for acne and male pattern baldness – androgenetic alopecia.

The concept of RU58841 is not an invention of the recent past. The idea to develop it was first put forward by French scientists way back in the 70s. Although it had been produced in the 80s, most of the research about its development progressed into the 90s.

Even small doses as low as 0.001 milligrams showed significant local effects. Even at high doses of up to 0.01 milligrams, the action was still limited to the site of application – a much-desired relief for the researchers.

Since this medication is an anti-androgen, it may be able to target skin conditions such as acne and androgenic alopecia. However, the mechanism of RU58841 is entirely different from other anti-androgenic medications. And here is the reason:

Unlike other antiandrogenic drugs that act by either reducing or blocking the synthesis of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHT) and testosterone, RU58841 mainly works with particular specificity to the receptor.
