Compound (2-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(4-X-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(2,2,2-perfluoroacylamino)propionamide) applied topically, specifically inhibits and/or eliminates cutaneous androgen receptors and thus finds cosmetic use in skin afflictions associated with excess androgens such as hair effluvium, hirsutism, acne and androgenic alopecia.

Topical antiandrogen for hair loss and other hyperandrogenic conditions

Substituted phenylalanines are provided comprising an hydantoin, urea or 2-hydroxyl, 2-methylpropionyl group, dimers thereof and alkyl, polyfluoroamido and haloarylamino derivatives thereof, as well as radiolabeled derivatives thereof. The compounds bind specifically to the androgen receptor and find use in indications associated with the androgen receptor, such as cell hyperplasia dependent on androgens, hirsutism, acne and androgenetic alopecia.

Androgen receptor suppressors in the therapy and diagnosis of prostate cancer, alopecia and other hyper-androgenic syndromes

Substituted phenylalanines are provided comprising an hydantoin, urea or 2-hydroxyl, 2-methylpropionyl group, dimers thereof and alkyl, polyfluoroamido and haloarylamino derivatives thereof, as well as radiolabeled derivatives thereof. The compounds bind specifically to the androgen receptor and find use in the therapy of indications associated with the androgen receptor, such as, hirsutism, acne and androgenetic alopecia, and in the therapy and diagnosis of cell hyperplasia dependent on androgens.

Substituted phenylthiohydantoins are provided for use in detecting the presence of tumor cells having androgenic receptors and providing for cytostatic and cytotoxic activity toward such cells. The subject compounds provide for vehicles for specific targeting to the androgenic receptor containing cells of cytostatic and/or cytotoxic agents, heavy or light radioactive or radioopaque atoms, and the like for detection and treatment of cancer cells involving androgenic receptors or blocking androgenic receptors.
