research Use of Antiandrogens as Therapeutic Agents in COVID-19 Patients
Antiandrogens may help prevent or treat COVID-19 by blocking virus entry into cells.
research Key targets of hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Part 2: the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Novel aldo-keto reductase 1C3 inhibitor affects androgen metabolism but not ovarian function in healthy women: a phase 1 study
The inhibitor affects androgen metabolism but not ovarian function.
research Pharmacological basis for clinical use of antiandrogens
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by blocking male sex hormones.
research Significance of RU58841 as a therapeutic agent effecting androgen receptor molecular interactions in human hair follicles.
RU58841, a substance from France, can potentially block the effects of hormones that cause hair loss and excessive hair growth, performing better than a similar substance, cyproterone acetate.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors
Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.
research News & Notes
Loop diuretics may double bone loss in elderly men, finasteride lowers prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors, abarelix reduces testosterone quickly, and transdermal testosterone offers minimal sexual benefit for women.
research The Evaluation of the Role of Androgens in Hirsutism and the Use of a New Anti-androgen “Cyproterone Acetate” for Therapy
Cyproterone acetate combined with ethinyl estradiol significantly reduced hirsutism in women.
research Theoretical Evaluation of Twenty-Cannabinoid Derivatives on Either Androgen Receptor or 5α-Reductase Enzyme
Some cannabinoid derivatives may be more effective than current drugs at targeting proteins relevant to prostate cancer treatment.
research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production
Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.
