CLASCOTERONE
Clascoterone is a topical androgen receptor inhibitor used in dermatological and acne-related pharmaceutical research. It competes with androgens such as DHT at skin androgen receptors and can reduce sebaceous-gland signalling. Possible risks include local irritation, redness, dryness, itching and application-site reactions. Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.

Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Clascoterone is a topical androgen receptor inhibitor. It competes with endogenous androgens such as dihydrotestosterone at androgen receptors in the skin, thereby reducing androgen-driven signalling in sebaceous glands and related inflammatory pathways.
Benefits and Advantages
Clascoterone is relevant for dermatological formulation development, acne-related research, sebocyte biology and local anti-androgen pharmacology. Its topical mode of action supports investigation of skin-targeted receptor modulation with limited systemic exposure when appropriately formulated.
Side Effects and Risks
Potential risks include local skin irritation, erythema, dryness, pruritus and application-site reactions. Because it modulates androgen receptor signalling, endocrine-related effects must be evaluated during development and use should remain within qualified pharmaceutical and regulatory frameworks.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
