TM-30089 Inhibits PGD2 Entirely and You Can Buy It Now

» I can’t see it getting tested by any amateurs at that price.
»
» For all we know it might easily take $100+ per day to get anywhere with it.
» That would be $3000 a month right there, and we would still have no idea
» if that was too much or not enough. And you might not learn anything
» worthwhile from staying on it any less than 3-6 months.

no need to get it tested. It’s most likely legit. And if it’s not, is $100 really that big of a deal? There is a very high chance that this would work why not give it a try?

you are dangerously stupid.

If its such a clear cut case why are you sitting here convincing others when you could be smearing these potentially carcinogenic substances on your head yourself?

i’d like to see before & after pics of someone who’s tried any kind of PGD2 blocker.

Looks like they’re targeting the right receptor – CRTH2.

  1. Is OC000459 a surmountable or insurmountable blocker?

  2. I thought we were trying to get a GPR44 receptor blocker but I see where some folks are talking about a CRTH2 blocker instead. Which is it? Cotseralis wrote in his paper that we need to block the GPR44 receptor but guys at this site are talking about CRTH2. I don’t get it. Why is it that the scientist told us to block GPR44 and we are instead going to block CRTH2? WTF?

roger_that, we do not need to block ALL postaglandins. We only need to block the postaglandins that shrink hair. Some postaglandins cause hair to grow. We need to increase the postaglandins that cause hair to grow.

It’s my understanding that there is only ONE receptor that the postaglandins that cause hair to stop growing bind to and that receptor is GPR44.

Why is it that Cotseralis told us one thing and we are doing something totally different? Are posters here deluding themselves into believing that they are more skilled and aware about hair loss than Cotseralis, who is one of the leading hair loss researchers in the world?

It’s my understanding that Cotseralis told us we need to block the receptor that the hair-stealing postaglandins bind to and he told us that receptor is GPR44. He also told us that we need to add the postaglandins that cause hair to grow and there are things available that will allow us to do this - latanoprost, bimatoprost, and minoxidil. According to Cotseralis we only need to block one receptor - GPR44.

WTF? Why don’t we just follow the instructions?

It’s my understanding that we are supposed to block GPR44. I’m pretty sure that’s what Cotseralis said so why are we talking about CRTH2 instead?

So what if these other postaglandins bind to CRTH2? Cotseralis did not say we need to worry about the CRTH2 receptor. Cotseralis told us we need to focus on the GPR44 receptor. Why are you changing the target zone to the CRTH2 receptor when Cotseralis told us the target zone is the GPR44 receptor?

Keep in mind that Cotseralis tested all abnormalities in balding scalp tissue.
He determined that only PGD2 and its’ derivatives were in excess amounts in balding skin. These other postaglandins you are talking about were only in the balding scalp skin in normal amounts so wtf are you even talking about them for? Why are you trying to eliminate postaglandins that is not shown to be involved in hair loss? Also, why are you focusing on the CRTH2 receptor even though Cotseralis told us the problem is the GPR44 receptor?

Again, there is nothing out of the ordinary about the PHG1, PGH2, and PGD1 in balding scalp or else Cotseralis would have discovered that abnormality. He did not report an excess amount of these items in balding scalp over what is found inside of non-balding scalp so why are we getting side-tracked with these postaglandins that are not implicated in hair loss and again why are we talking about a receptor that is not the receptor that Cotseralis said to focus on?

There is no difference in the quantity or quality of PHG1, PGH2, and PGD1 found in balding scalp skin vs non-balding scalp skin which means there is NO EVIDENCE that PHG1, PGH2, and PGD1 are involved in hair loss.

It’s my understanding that these two drug companies are focused on GPR44 blockers. If I’m not correctly informed please advise with an explanation. It’s my recollection that Cotseralis was talking about blocking the GPR44 receptor rather than CRTH2 blocker. Are you changing the target zone that Cotseralis said to focus on???

I read the paper by Cotserlis and it’s my recollection that he said the right receptor is GPR44, not CRTH2.

Aren’t they the same thing? At least someone here said they were.

I believe they are

It seems to me that the mechanism that is of confusion for some users is that there is a gateway for the signal that is received via the GPR-44 to PGD2 chemical communication. The TM-30089 inhibits the PGD2 from communicating, presumably with the follicle, not mesaging to essentially go bald (shrink). This action is very likely a succesful action towards stopping the Androgenic Aplopecia expression, although the message is still being sent, and the receptor, namely the hair follicle, is still able to receive the message if the TM-30089 is not in the channel for the communication.

This raises the concern that this chemical alone would NOT likely work without some mechanism for specifically achieving a proper delivery. This begs for the possible use a nanoparticle (nano-lipid) delivery. I tend to agree that based on what I’ve seen posted by some, that there are no studies that have been used for a topical application, at least yet? It seems that this may be a self-limiting mechanism, but I still fear that there could be a catabolic expression that no one has experienced yet. It seems that at least a nano-particle animal study on the skin of lab animals is needed to determine if there is enough safety for testing it’s efficacy on human baldness? I wonder if anyone has really tried this out yet, and if they are using a nano-particle delivery mechanism? I would love to find out more, and if the patent holder is planning to move on at least that level, soon?

Any additional information would be appreciated, or an update?

(catabolic) Catastrophic balding effect. Yikes! Let’s hope Not!!!

Hoopa’s comment makes no sense scientifically. It appears that he misunderstands the mechanism of action of TM-30089, although his comment isn’t expressed clearly, so I can’t even be sure if what he’s trying to say.
