research Synthesis of novel andostane-N-cyclohexyl-17-carboxamides, and their effect on the 5α-reductase isoform 2, the androgen receptor, and androgen-dependent glands
New compounds were made and tested, with compound 6 showing potential for treating prostate-related diseases.
research Androgen receptor transactivity is potentiated by TGF-β1 through Smad3 but checked by its coactivator Hic-5/ARA55 in balding dermal papilla cells
TGF-β1 increases androgen receptor activity in hair loss, but Hic-5/ARA55 can counter this effect.
research THE ROLE Of 5αR AND α1AR INHIBITORS IN MANAGEMENT OF BPH
Combining dutasteride or finasteride with an α1 blocker is more effective for managing BPH than using either alone.
research Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 3-oxo-4-oxa-5α-androst-17β-amide derivatives as dual 5α-reductase inhibitors and androgen receptor antagonists
New compounds were made that are promising for prostate cancer therapy.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Is there any role for topical DHT antagonists, or does a 5-AR inhibitor remove the need for them as therapy
Topical androgen receptor antagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community 27M Struggling with 5-Month Treatment Limit on Minoxidil and Finasteride, Seeking AR Blocker Advice
A 27-year-old male is experiencing a recurring pattern of hair loss after 5 months of using oral minoxidil and finasteride, despite initial success. He is considering using topical androgen receptor blockers like RU58841, pyrilutamide, or clascoterone to address potential androgen receptor hypersensitivity.
community Fluridil degrades the androgen receptor.
Fluridil degrades androgen receptors, which are prevalent in the scalp and other tissues. People with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may have higher expression of these receptors and 5AR activity in affected scalp areas.
community What do we actually know about HMI-115?
The post and conversation are about HMI-115, a potential treatment for hair loss. The conclusion is that HMI-115 is not a 5ar-inhibitor and is instead a prolactin receptor inhibitor. Some users are skeptical about its effectiveness and believe that baldness will still be a problem in the future.
