Description
RU-58841 5% Solution (30mL) Overview
RU-58841 5% Solution RU-58841 5% Solution is a laboratory research compound specifically designed to explore the interactions of androgens with their respective receptors, and the impact this has on the life and growth cycle of hair follicles. The RU-58841 is supplied in a 30mL amber glass dropper vial for a secure, measured and reliable supply.
RU-58841 Other Names: PSK-3841, HMR-3841 RU-58841 is a non-steroidal antiandrogen which has been extensively researched for its highly selective androgen receptor binding affinity. The high binding affinity for the AR makesRU-58841 valuable as an experimental tool to investigate AR-dependent processes such as the hair miniaturization pathways.

Scientific Applications
RU-58841 has been primarily studied in the lab environment and its mechanism involves interacting with the androgen receptor activity. Studies investigate its activity against the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and how RU-58841 affect the androgen-sensitive tissues.
RU-58841 is being studied in the field of hair follicle research for its ability to inhibit androgen binding to the receptor and interfere with processes involved in hair follicle miniaturization, hence the interest in this chemical compound for both dermatological and endocrine studies.
Mechanism of Action
Mechanism of action: RU-58841 works as a selective androgen receptor antagonist.RU-58841 selectively bind the androgen receptors and competitively inhibit natural androgens like DHT. It may prevent any downstream events stimulated by androgens, thus enabling a researchers to investigate signaling events in a more controlled fashion without the direct involvement of androgen signaling.
It has also been reported in papers non-steroidal anti-androgens such as RU-58841 are specific to receptor interaction, which is beneficial for studying biological effects related to androgens.
Handling and Storage
When not in use, keep your compound stored in a cool and dry place where it is not exposed to any sunlight. This is another reason for the amber glass vial, as it keeps the compounds light protected. Make sure you’re closing the lid of the container every single time so nothing gets into your solution.
Important Considerations
- Intended strictly for laboratory research use
- Not approved for human or veterinary use
- Handle using appropriate laboratory safety procedures
- Use in controlled experimental environments only
