JXL069 is an experimental drug originally developed at the University of California and licensed for development to Pelage Pharmaceuticals, which acts as a potent and selective mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitor that disrupts pyruvate import into mitochondria. It has been researched as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia and shows positive results in animal studies. Pelage Pharmaceuticals currently has a candidate molecule PP405 in Phase II human clinical trials for hair loss formulated as a topical cream for the scalp,[1][2] though it is unclear if this is JXL069 or a related molecule. Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier inhibitors also have potential for the treatment of cancer, so a large number of related molecules have also been developed, of which JXL069 was among the most effective tested so far for treatment of hair loss.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
