    So CB may end up being a topically effective sort of finasteride? And one that is not absorbed systemically. Is this being studied for Androgenic alopecia or just acne at this point?

    I'm not 100% sure where the clinical trials stand. I think they are doing the trials for acne at the moment. I know it was injected subcutaneously in rats with no adverse effects and actually applied through iontophoresis on humans with success.

    "The study results show that CB-03-01, applied to the scalp through iontophoresis, was more effective than cyproterone-acetate and 17alpha-estradiol in the improvement of the follicular density, the hair shaft diameter, the pull test, and in reducing sebaceous gland size and, as a consequence, sebum production."

    iontophoresis is just a way to get the molecule past the dermis. CB-03-01 is a fairly big molecule, which is why people who have tried it in the past have not has a lot of success. It is because they are not using an effective vehicle that will help it get pas the skin to the hair follicle. I personally am going to micro-inject it because I believe it is safe, but I know others are going to try it out with a new vehiclal topically, and they believe will work.
