At a glance

Clascoterone cream is an androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years of age and older.

Indications
  • Acne vulgaris (patients 12 years and older)
  • Androgenetic alopecia
Pharmacology

Clascoterone is a novel antagonist of androgen receptors. It binds to androgen receptors with high affinity. By competing with androgens for binding to androgen receptors, Clascoterone works by blocking the androgen receptor signaling cascades that promotes acne pathogenesis such as sebaceous gland proliferation, excess sebum production and inflammatory pathways. Androgenetic alopecia is also an androgen-dependent and highly genetic condition. By blocking the interaction between DHT and ARs, clascoterone inhibits AR-regulated transcription and DHT-induced IL-6 synthesis.
