New Anti Hair Loss Drug TM-5614 CAS 1190221-46-5 TM 5614

TM5614 , owned by Japanese company Renascience,is a drug that partially inhibits PAI-1.In mice, in addition to being instrumental in proper blood clotting, PAI-1 seems to be involved in hair loss.

Scientists noticed that mice bred to have too much PAI-1 seemed "older" than they should. They were born bald and never grew hair. "They don't quite look right," he added.


While the absence of the protein can cause health problems, the team's work in animals suggests that a reduction in PAI-1 might be beneficial.

In early research in mice bred to have too much PAI-1, Reaserchers noticed that animals that were administered the drug began growing hair. 


Team has higher hopes for the drug's reach beyond the restoration of hair follicles, however. Renascience plans to test TM5614 as a supportive therapy in the treatment of cancer, to be administered in conjunction with standard chemotherapy. The thought is that it may be more effective than current treatments for stimulating the production of new blood cells following chemotherapy.
