ru58841 has a binding affinity for the AR of 1.1nM
for reference 5a-dihydrotestosterone has a binding affinity for the AR in the scalp of around 0.25-0.5nM
That means that ru58841 doesnt outcompete DHT at the scalp and allows it to bind
KX-826 meanwhile has a binding affinity of 0.28nM wich is roughtly DHT binding affinity
Also ru58841 has an lc50 of 100nM while KX-826 has an lc50 of also 0.28nM, meaning you need roughly 350 times more of it to have the same effect
