Research
180-210 / 1000+ results research Synthesis and biological evaluation of esters of 16-formyl-17-methoxy-dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 2

Recognizing LET and AITD can help diagnose SLE early for better treatment.
research Managing patterned hair loss – a hair raising task!
Hair loss can be managed with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and others, but there are still gaps in effectiveness and off-label usage is increasing.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
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.
research Highly efficient nucleophilic addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to 17-ketosteroids in the presence of cerium(III) chloride: Synthesis of 17α-propyl-17β-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one, an androgen receptor antagonist
Adding cerium(III) chloride to Grignard reagents improves the making of compounds that could treat prostate issues and hair loss.
research Finasteride interferes with prostaglandin-induced CatSper signalling in human sperm
Finasteride may affect male fertility by interfering with specific sperm signaling.
research The effect of finasteride and dutasteride on the synthesis of neurosteroids by glioblastoma cells
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce neurosteroid production, possibly helping treat glioblastoma.
research Effects of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Serum Levels of Gonadal, Adrenal, and Hypophyseal Hormones and its Clinical Significance: A Prospective Clinical Study
Finasteride reduces hair loss and treats BPH without major hormone changes, but may cause sexual dysfunction.
research Greater conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone, reflecting increased peripheral 5α-reductase activity in nude mice treated with high doses of cyclosporine A
High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.
research The effect of spironolactone on genital skin 5α-reductase activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Doping-Control Analysis of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Determination of Its Influence on Urinary Steroid Profiles and Detection of Its Major Urinary Metabolite
Finasteride affects urinary steroid profiles and can potentially hide steroid abuse in sports drug testing.
research Inhibition of steroid 5 alpha-reductase with finasteride: sleep-related erections, potency, and libido in healthy men.
Finasteride doesn't affect erections much, but may decrease libido in men.
research Finasteride, A Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Does Not Affect the Oxidative Metabolism of Antipyrine
Finasteride doesn't affect antipyrine metabolism, so interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzyme drugs are unlikely.
research Repurposing steroidogenesis inhibitors for the therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders: Promises and caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
research Comments concerning the real risk of sexual adverse events secondary to the use of 5-ARIs
The document concludes that the risk of sexual side effects from 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors is low and often temporary, but more research is needed on potential permanent effects.
research A new label-free screen for steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors using LC-MS
Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in men receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors: population based cohort study
Men taking dutasteride or finasteride have a slightly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
