HIDE SMILES / InChI
Cortexolone 17α-propionate (WINLEVI, BREEZULA) is a steroid belonging to the family of cortexolone derivatives. It is a topical and peripherally selective androgen antagonist. WINLEVI is used for the treatment of acne and has completed Phase II clinical trials and Phase III trials. BREEZULA is used for the treatment of androgenic alopecia and is currently undergoing a Phase II trial in the US.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: The explanation of peripheral selectivity of cortexolone 17α-propionate could be that it poorly penetrates the blood-brain barrier, thus failing to achieve an adequate concentration in CNS. However, this last hypothesis needs to be confirmed as tissue distribution studies will be performed.
