RU-58841 (also known as PSK-3841 or HMR-3841) is a non-steroidal antiandrogen which was previously investigated for use as a topical treatment for acne, androgenetic alopecia, and hirsutism.[1][2] The compound is similar in structure to RU-58642 but contains a different side-chain.[3] These compounds are similar in chemical structure to nilutamide,[4] which is related to flutamide, bicalutamide, and enzalutamide. RU-58841 can be synthesized either by building the hydantoin moiety or by aryl coupling to 5,5-dimethylhydantoin [5]
Synthesis
RU-58841 as a possible treatment for hair loss
RU58841 is considered to be one of the most promising drugs regarding hair loss prevention. To study the effect of the RU58841 on human hair growth, researchers (Brouwer et al., 1997) used twenty productive scalp grafts from balding men. The grafts that were treated with a solution of RU58841 had a total of 29 active follicles while the control grafts had two follicles.[6]
