Compounds used to block non-essential androgen receptors are described. In particular, cyclohexenone compounds containing alkyl groups can be used to treat conditions mediated by blocking of non-essential androgen receptors, such as pressure ulcers, male pattern folds, keloids, cutaneous folds, and osteoarthritis. The cyclohexenone compound can be administered orally, topically, or internally. Typically, the alkyl group is CH 3 and the cyclohexenone compound is 3- (5-methoxyheptyl) -2-cyclohexenone. |
