Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.
research Patent Evaluation: Δ-4,6-Steroids as Potent 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroids were patented as effective for treating acne, hair loss, and other conditions related to hormones.
research Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of C21 Steroids Having 1,4-diene or 4,6-diene 20-ones and 4-Azasteroid 20-Oximes
Three specific 4-azasteroid-2-oximes showed strong enzyme inhibition, but less than finasteride.
research [G-proteins, receptor signal transduction, and growth hormone secretion].
The document concludes that antiandrogenic drugs like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone are effective but not permanent treatments for skin-related androgenization in women.

Antiandrogens may help treat conditions like excessive hair growth, prostate tumors, male baldness, and acne by blocking male hormone effects.
research Androgen metabolism in hirsute patients treated with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
