UK-5099, also known as JXL001 or as 2-cyano-3-(1-phenylindol-3-yl)acrylate (2-CPIYA), is a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) inhibitor. [1] It has been found to promote hair growth when administered topically to the skin in rodents. [2] [3] The drug was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1975. [4] [5] Analogues of UK-5099 like JXL069, JXL082, and PP405 have been developed. [2] [6] [7]
