Pyrilutamide (developmental code name KX-826) is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) – specifically, a selective high-affinity silent antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR) – which is under development by Suzhou Kintor Pharmaceuticals, inc., a subsidiary of Kintor Pharmaceutical Limited, for the potential treatment of androgenic alopecia (androgen-dependent scalp hair loss)[2][3][4] As of September 2022, it is in phase 3 clinical trials for androgenic alopecia and phase 2 trials for acne.[3]
