I should reformulate, not absorption but deliver to the target cells. sure you can absorb more by doing various things, using warm water on the skin before to provide better vascularisation, needling etc. but what happens when you have an androgen receptor degrader and then you needle and open the micro vasculature, it goes directly into the blood stream, then the androgen receptors in your brain, heart or penis will also get degraded which is pretty problematic, more so than finasteride even. in their description they talk about localized deliver and that it stays in tissue for many days and that in animal models systemic activity was very low but they never talk about the technique that assures this. after all Kintor has been in attention recently for exaggerating effects of drugs without proper evidence. but I guess we will see as it is in phase 1 clinical trials rn and if it does have systemic action we will most certainly find out except if chines men are not reliant on androgens
I agree that systemic absorbtion would obviously be a problem. And so far all we have as to why the drug won't go systemic from the company is "just trust me bro" - which obviously isn't enough for most people, especially for the many who have seen topicals in the past say it won't go systemic, only to find out the hard way that it does go systemic.
I'm excited as everyone at the speed Kintor is moving but I am keeping my eye out for how exactly it won't go systemic.
We've seen FDA trials even like Finasteride do "seemingly well" only for it to be the most controversial hairloss drug in terms of its actual safety.
