Biochem/physiol Actions

Clascoterone is a high-affinity androgen receptor (AR) antagonist (antiandrogen) that antagonizes testosterone-stimulated transcription activity (in reporter cells) as well as DHT-induced production of lipids and inflammatory cytokines (in human sebocytes) in cultures. When applied topically, clascoterone is as active as cyproterone acetate, and 2-, 3-, and 4-times, respectively, more active than finasteride, flutamide, and progesterone in vivo (local antiandrogenic activity in hamster′s flank organ; 100-400 μg/50 μL acetone/animal).
