The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research 13C-NMR study of 4-azasteroids in solution and solid state
4-azasteroids, including finasteride, can inhibit 5α-reductase, helping treat conditions like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research Effect of flutamide and two novel synthetic steroids on GABA, glutamine and some oxidative stress markers in rat brain and prostate
Flutamide and a new synthetic steroid affected brain and prostate chemicals and showed potential for treating androgen-related conditions and epilepsy.
research Regulation of the metabolic phenotype of human hepatocytes by glucocorticoids and androgens
Glucocorticoids reduce fat production in liver cells, while androgens increase it in females; manipulating certain enzymes can influence these effects.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
research New ester derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone as 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may help treat prostate issues without affecting androgen receptors.
research 1116 Novel androgen receptor degrader for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) application
A new treatment for hair loss shows promise with fewer side effects.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research Crystal Structure of 17-.BETA.-Benzoyloxy-16-.BETA.-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione.
A new antiandrogen compound was made and its detailed three-dimensional shape was described.
research Disruption of androgen metabolism, regulation and effects : involvement of steroidogenic enzymes
Anabolic steroids and inflammation can disrupt androgen metabolism, potentially causing health issues.
![Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking of 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one Analogs Containing the Piperazine Moiety](/images/research/2ecf4eed-7dbe-4f1a-83db-739625546cdd/small/31808.jpg)
research Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking of 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one (ABO) analogs containing the piperazine moiety
Analog 23 is a promising compound for prostate cancer treatment.
research Androstanediolglucuronide: A parameter for peripheral androgen activity before and during therapy with cyproterone acetate
3α-AdiolG is a good marker for androgen activity in women with excessive hair growth and decreases with anti-androgen treatment.
research Clascoterone: a new topical antiandrogen agent.
Clascoterone is a promising topical treatment for hair loss and acne with fewer side effects.
research Discovery of Nonsteroidal Androgens
Scientists found new nonsteroidal compounds that can act like natural male hormones and might help treat male fertility and hormone issues.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
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.
