Inocoterone acetate (USAN) (also known as RU-38882, RU-882) is the acetate ester of inocoterone a steroid-like nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) that was developed for topical administration to treat acne but was never marketed. Inocoterone acetate is actually not a silent antagonist of the androgen receptor but rather a weak partial agonist, similarly to steroidal antiandrogens like cyproterone acetate. In this double-blind study of 126 male subjects with acne, a topical solution of the antiandrogen inocoterone produced a modest but statistically significant reduction in the number of inflammatory acne lesions.
