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 Finasteride inhibits epinephrine synthesis in humans: implication for sexual dysfunction
Finasteride may cause sexual dysfunction by reducing epinephrine levels.
research Effects of halogenated analogues of cortisol and progesterone upon hair growth in castrated mice.
Certain chemical changes to cortisol and progesterone can increase or decrease their ability to inhibit hair growth.
research Pharmacological Inhibition of Stearoyl CoA Desaturase in the Skin Induces Atrophy of the Sebaceous Glands
Blocking SCD1 in the skin with XEN103 shrinks sebaceous glands in mice.
research The Antiandrogens
research 17α-Acetoxy-6-bromo-16β-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
A new compound with strong antiandrogenic effects was found, potentially useful for treating conditions like acne and prostate cancer.
research Análisis de las Interacciones Químicas-Cuánticas in Silico de la Finasterida y los Neurotransmisores y su Papel en la Psicopatología
Finasteride can help with hair loss and prostate issues but may negatively affect mood and the nervous system.

research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Cortexolone 17a-propionate: Preclinical profile of a new topical, skin selective, steroidal antiandrogen
Clofazimine may be effective for treating ashy dermatosis.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Virtual Screening of Potential Inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease
The document concluded that certain compounds might strongly bind to and potentially inhibit a key SARS-CoV-2 protein, but further testing is needed.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research Role of allopregnanolone biosynthesis in acute stress-induced anxiety-like behaviors in mice
Blocking allopregnanolone production in mice makes them more anxious after stress, but this can be reversed with a drug that mimics allopregnanolone.
research A Convenient Synthesis of (16S,20S)-3β-Hydroxy-5α-pregnane-20,16-carbolactam and Its N-alkyl Derivatives
A new, efficient method was developed to synthesize a specific compound and its derivatives.
research Discovery of COVID-19 Inhibitors Targeting the SARS-CoV2 Nsp13 Helicase
Two existing drugs may help treat COVID-19 by inhibiting a key viral protein.
