research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid and Carnitine-containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
research Pharmacophore and Atom Based 3D QSAR Studies on the Novel 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
The developed model can predict effective 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors.
research Studies on the effect of Betula platyphylla extract on human dermal papilla cell proliferation and its mechanism of action
Betula platyphylla extract, particularly the H3-2 fraction, may help treat hair loss by promoting cell growth and inhibiting a hair loss-related enzyme.
research Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel androst-3,5-diene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 and 2
New chemical compounds were made that effectively block an enzyme linked to prostate growth.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research A review of the treatment of male pattern hair loss
Finasteride and minoxidil work best together for hair loss.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Comparing Current Therapeutic Modalities of Androgenic Alopecia: A Literature Review of Clinical Trials
Some treatments for hereditary hair loss are effective but vary in results and side effects; new therapies show promise but need more research.
research Identification of A p300–SP1–BRD4 Transcriptional Axis as a Key Driver of AR Hyperactivation in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Targeting the p300/AR axis may help treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Distribution of Cu, Mn, Se and Zn in occipital and frontal hair zones and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with a certain type of hair loss have more copper in the back of their head than the front, and treatment can normalize hair but not copper levels.
research 5alpha-reductase: history and clinical importance.
5alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat BPH by reducing DHT, offering symptom relief and potential future uses.
research Change in hair growth-related gene expression profile in human isolated hair follicles induced by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors – dutasteride and finasteride – in the presence of testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research Literature Review: Nutrafol® vs. Microinflammation
Nutrafol might help reduce hair loss due to inflammation, but more evidence is needed.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Dihydroartemisinin attenuates benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats by inhibiting prostatic epithelial cell proliferation
Dihydroartemisinin helps reduce prostate enlargement in rats by stopping the growth of prostate cells.
research The Biomolecular Effects of Finasteride on Male Rat Brain during Administration and after Discontinuation
Finasteride temporarily suppresses brain activity, but some effects last even after stopping.
research Design of Liposome Formulations for CRISPR/Cas9 Enzyme Immobilization: Evaluation of 5-Alpha-Reductase Enzyme Knockout for Androgenic Disorders
New liposome treatment successfully delivers CRISPR to deactivate a key enzyme in androgen-related disorders.
research The medicinal activity of lyophilized aqueous seed extract of Lepidium sativum L. in an androgenic alopecia model
The seed extract of Lepidium sativum L. can potentially treat hair loss, showing effects similar to 5% minoxidil.
research Effect of Fenugreek Extract on Testosterone Propionate-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Fenugreek extract may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Establishment and characterization of matched immortalized human frontal and occipital scalp dermal papilla cell lines from androgenetic alopecia
Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
research The Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Treatment Dilemma
Effective treatment guidelines for frontal fibrosing alopecia are still unclear.
research 5α- Reductase Inhibitors in Prostate Cancer: An Overview
5α-reductase inhibitors like Finasteride and Dutasteride may help manage prostate cancer by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Long-term safety and efficacy of mirabegron and solifenacin in combination compared with monotherapy in patients with overactive bladder: SYNERGY II study
Using mirabegron and solifenacin together is safe and more effective for treating overactive bladder than using either drug alone.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
