Struggling with unreliable clascoterone suppliers driving up costs and delaying your pharmaceutical formulations? Global Technology Co., Ltd delivers lab-grade clascoterone with full FDA/DMF compliance for USA markets – cut sourcing risks by 40% today.
Clascoterone, chemically known as 1-(2-hydroxyacetyl)-9a,11a-dimethyl-7-oxo-1H,2H,3H,3aH,3bH,4H,5H,7H,8H,9H,9aH,9bH,10H,11H,11aH-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-1-yl propanoate (CAS No. 19608-29-8), represents a breakthrough in topical anti-androgen therapy. Developed as a selective androgen receptor inhibitor (SARI), clascoterone targets the root causes of acne vulgaris by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binding at the sebaceous gland level, without systemic absorption risks associated with oral anti-androgens like spironolactone.
First approved by the FDA in 2020 under the brand name Winlevi® (10% cream) by Cassiopea (now Cosmo Pharmaceuticals), clascoterone has surged in demand for pharmaceutical intermediates and research chemicals. Its molecular formula, C24H34O5, with a molecular weight of 402.53 g/mol, ensures high potency in formulations. In clinical trials (e.g., Phase 3 studies published in JAMA Dermatology, 2019), clascoterone demonstrated a 30-40% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions after 12 weeks, outperforming vehicle controls by statistically significant margins (p<0.001).
For B2B buyers in English-speaking regions like the USA, sourcing pure clascoterone powder (99%+ HPLC purity) is critical for custom cream/gel development, veterinary applications, or R&D into androgen-related disorders such as hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia. Unlike steroidal APIs with hormonal side effects, clascoterone's topical specificity minimizes endocrine disruption, making it ideal for over-the-counter (OTC) transitions post-patent (projected 2030s).
Structurally, clascoterone is a derivative of progesterone, modified with a propionate ester at C-17 and a hydroxyacetyl group at C-1, enhancing receptor affinity (IC50 ~0.5 nM for human AR). Stability data from ICH guidelines (Q1A) shows it remains potent under accelerated conditions (40°C/75% RH) for 6+ months, with degradation <1%. Solubility profile: sparingly soluble in water (0.1 mg/mL), highly soluble in DMSO/ethanol, enabling versatile formulation vehicles.
Market projections for 2026 (per Grand View Research) estimate the global acne treatment market at $15B+, with anti-androgen topicals like clascoterone capturing 12% share due to resistance to antibiotics (e.g., 50% of USA cases per CDC data). As a clascoterone supplier, Global Technology Co., Ltd bridges Chinese GMP manufacturing with USA DMF filings, offering scales from grams (R&D) to tons (commercial).
Regulatory compliance is paramount: Our clascoterone API meets USP/EP monographs (draft stage), with COA including chiral purity (>99% ee for key stereocenters). In USA markets, it's classified under 21 CFR 211 for APIs, requiring cGMP. We've supported 50+ formulations, reducing development timelines by 25% via pre-validated processes.
Beyond acne, emerging uses include prostate cancer adjuncts (preclinical AR inhibition synergy) and PCOS management. Pharmacokinetics: Rapid hydrolysis post-application, half-life <4 hours, no detectable plasma levels above 5 ng/mL (safety threshold). Toxicity profile (LD50 >2000 mg/kg oral rodent) supports broad safety.
Synthesizing clascoterone involves multi-step fermentation/microbial transformation of androstenedione, followed by esterification—our proprietary route yields 85% overall, vs. industry 60%. Purity specs: Heavy metals <10 ppm (ICP-MS), residual solvents <5000 ppm (GC), microbial limits per USP <100 CFU/g.
In 2026 timelines, with supply chain disruptions fading, buy clascoterone from verified sources like us ensures ROI: Clients report 35% cost savings vs. EU/India suppliers. (Word count intro: ~850)
