Product Name: Clascoterone
Chemical Name: 17alpha-Propio17-(1-oxopropoxy)pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione
CAS Number: 19608-29-8
Appearance: White Powder
Purity: 99%
Product Description:
Clascoterone, also known as Cortexolone 17α-propionate or CB-03-01, is a highly selective topical and peripheral androgen receptor (AR) antagonist. It is widely researched for its potential in treating androgen-driven skin conditions such as acne vulgaris.
Applications:
Dermatology Research:
- Effective as a topical antiandrogen for treating acne vulgaris.
- Used in studies on androgen receptor signaling inhibition.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates:
- Functions as an organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry intermediate.
Mechanism of Action:
Clascoterone binds selectively to androgen receptors (AR) in the skin, blocking androgen-mediated signaling pathways that drive conditions like acne. Its localized action minimizes systemic side effects while maximizing efficacy in the targeted area.
In Vivo Studies:
- In clinical trials, Clascoterone 1% cream was well tolerated and demonstrated significant efficacy compared to placebo:
- Improved TLC (Total Lesion Count) (P=0.0017).
- Enhanced ILC (Inflammatory Lesion Count) (P=0.0134).
- Reduced ASI (Acne Severity Index) (P=0.0090).
- Showed a faster onset of improvement and higher clinical efficacy compared to other treatments.
Key Features:
- Highly Selective: Targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic absorption.
- Efficacy: Clinically proven to reduce acne lesions and severity.
- Topical Application: Offers localized action with fewer side effects.
Storage Information:
- Store at -20°C in a sealed container. Protect from moisture and light to maintain stability.
Use Cases:
- Signal transduction pathway studies involving androgen receptors.
- Development of topical treatments for androgen-related skin conditions like acne vulgaris.
