RU58841 is a topically active non-steroidal antiandrogen. It demonstrated efficacy in animal models of androgen-dependent skin disorders such as acne and androgenetic alopecia. Under name of PSK 3841 was being developed by ProStrakan. It underwent clinical evaluation for the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions, such as acne and alopecia. Following the conclusion of phase II trials, no further development was reported. Based on this and the fact the compound is not listed on the companies pipeline, development is presumed discontinued.
