RU-58841
CAS: 154992-24-2
RU-58841 is a non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist developed specifically for topical anti-androgenic research. Studied for scalp androgen receptor blockade without the systemic DHT effects of oral antiandrogens. 99.0% HPLC purity.
Specifications
For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
Mechanism of Action
Competitive AR antagonism at the scalp follicle DHT binding site. High local activity with rapid systemic metabolism limits systemic androgen suppression versus oral AR antagonists.
Research FAQ
Why research RU-58841 vs finasteride for scalp studies?
Finasteride is a systemic 5a-reductase inhibitor reducing DHT body-wide. RU-58841 is a topical AR antagonist acting locally at follicles — relevant for research isolating scalp androgen receptor effects without confounding systemic DHT suppression.
