Biological Support
In-vitro Screening
Initial screening of bioactive ingredients using cell cultures to determine cytotoxicity and cellular uptake efficiency.
Clinical Trial
Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on human volunteers to measure visible skin and hair improvements.
Dermatological Evaluation and Product Safety Test
Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (HRIPT) and Primary Irritation Patch Test (PIPT) on human volunteers, approved by Dermatologists.
Mechanism of Action: Bioépicrone™
Inhibition of Androgenic Alopecia (AGA)
Our latest study data confirms that Bioépicrone™ effectively downregulates SRD5A Type-2 by 22.9%. This enzymatic downregulation is critical in reducing the excessive conversion of testosterone to di-hydrotestosterone (DHT).
SRD5A2 (gene) - HFDPC (24hr)
Molecular Pathway Intervention
Inhibition of Alopecia Areata (AA)
Bioépicrone™ inhibits JAK3 signaling by 43.1%, thus treating Alopecia Areata (AA).
JAK3 (gene) - HFDPC (24hr)
Molecular Pathway Intervention
Reduction of Acne Formation
Bioépicrone™ downregulates MC5R and SRD5A1 by 64.5% and 14.9% respectively, preventing excessive conversion of testosterone to di-hydrotestosterone (DHT). Thus, reducing excessive sebum production helpful in the treatment of Acne.
MC5R (gene) - PCi-SEB
SRD5A1 (gene) - PCi-SEB
