(CB-03-01 Vehicle Research) PhD Student in Chemistry

[adam k]

A little bit about me. I am a PhD student at a leading institution in the world. I live in the UK and have an undergraduate degree as well as a Masters in Chemistry. I am now doing a PhD also related to Chemistry. I will not disclose the institution or my thesis as I prefer to remain anonymous (as other PhD candidates know, a thesis is unique to every person).

I have been a hair loss sufferer since I was 18 years old. I am now in my mid twenties and I am a norwood 2 with medium diffuse thinning. This god forsaken disease has taken over my life and I have been lurking on hair loss forums for years and years every single night. I am absolutely disgusted that in the last 50 years there has been no advancements to this field and it is an absolute outrage that the best treatment in 2013 is an internal 5-AR inhibitor with the side effects that it entails.

I refuse to take Finasteride and at the moment I am only using Nizoral 2% which is simply not enough. I also have personal reasons not to take Minoxidil.
After lurking for so long I am firmly in Hellousers camp. The research world simply does not take male hair loss seriously and as a PhD student I have searched the databases for journals pertaining to this field and it is a miniscule fraction. I firmly believe that were this disease to affect women that a cure would have been discovered by now. The hair loss research companies out there are simply taking the P and I am furious and disgusted at their snail pace research and the unwillingness for the research world to unite efforts to find a solution for an inflicton which affects the percentage of the male population that it does.

For this reason it is my dream to complete my PhD and set up a research group myself dedicated to curing this affliction. In the meantime I am researching into using CB-03-01 msyelf and I am taking matters into my own hands. It is an outrage and insult to us that Cosmo are starting tials on Acne treatment first as there already exist many treatments for Acne and yet once again MPB takes a back seat. I hope that Cosmo releases a commercial product for androgenetic alopecia however after being around this field for so long, as a pessimist I think something will happen to prevent that. In the instance that they do release something, it will be too late for me and I NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW.

Therefore in my free time I am dedicating my time and research facilities to try and find a suitable vehicle for CB-03-01. Bare in mind I am a pure Chemist although I do have some knowledge in Chemical Biology also. Also please bare in mind I have just started my in depth research on this molecular compound, I shall be doing some heavy reading in the following days.

Before I start my own research I want to clarify a few things.

1) After searching and studying the CB-03-01 patent

http://www.google.com/patents/EP2503005A2?cl=en

lines #64 and #65 pertain to obtaining a pharmaceutical form. It describes this in detail so why has no one tried this?

2) If the above point 1 is negated then could I have a list of all possible vehicle research attempts by people with details of compositions and concentrations.

3) How do you guys determine if a vehicle is successful or not. Is this verified by a personal trial of the product and recording the results?

4) I am about to order CB-03-01 form 3 from Kane. Is this the best place to buy it from?

I also want to ask since CB-03-01 is a steroid and as in the medical world testosterone and steroids can be administered as a transdermal cream, is there any reason why this molecule can't be compounded in the same vehicle?

Finally a shoutout to Hellouser, you are my inspiration. I admire your willingness, research effort and courage in tackling this disease head on yourself and taking matters into your own hands. If more people like you existed on these forums, I'm sure we could reach a solution to this affliction ourselves as lord knows, help isn't going to come from anywhere else.
