research MP89-08 POST-FINASTERIDE SYNDROME: REAL OR IMAGINED?
Finasteride 1mg linked to diverse symptoms; other treatments improve erectile function in rats.
research Enhanced skin permeation of 5α-reductase inhibitors entrapped into surface-modified liquid crystalline nanoparticles
Special nanoparticles increased skin absorption of hair loss treatments with fewer side effects.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Dutasteride for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic hyperplasia but isn't approved for preventing prostate cancer.
research Literature Review: Naltrexone: New Use for an Old Drug
Naltrexone shows promise as a safe treatment for a type of hair loss called lichen planopilaris.
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4–Androsten–3–one–17β– Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ1
The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.
research Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.
research Neurosteroid influence on affective tone
Endogenous neurosteroids may set a baseline mood.
research Expression and Activity Assay of Human Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Type II in CHO Cells
Finasteride effectively inhibits the enzyme steroid 5 alpha-reductase II.
research Neurosteroids Involved in Regulating Inhibition in the Inferior Colliculus
Neurosteroids help balance brain signals when certain inhibitions are reduced.
research Neonatal allopregnanolone or finasteride administration modifies hippocampal K+ Cl− co-transporter expression during early development in male rats
Allopregnanolone increases KCC2 expression in baby male rats' brains, while finasteride doesn't affect it.
research Finasteride
Finasteride is a medicine used to treat enlarged prostate and prostate cancer, and it works by changing how testosterone works in the body.
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 Simultaneous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of 5α-reductase inhibitors and androgens by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
The method effectively measures drug impact on DHT levels in prostate treatments.
research Cyproterone/finasteride
Cyproterone and finasteride reduced hypersexuality but caused serious side effects.
research Isolation and Structural Characterization of Finasteride Degradation Products by Preparative HPLC, HRMS, and NMR
This study investigates the degradation profile of finasteride, a drug used for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia, under stress conditions. Using LC–MS, three degradation products were identified under acidic conditions, with minimal degradation in alkaline and oxidative environments. The degradation products were isolated and analyzed using preparative HPLC, HRMS, and NMR spectroscopy. The study revealed that the degradation process of DP-1 involved cleavage of the tert-butyl amide and addition of water across the alkene moiety. The structure of DP-1 was established through various spectroscopic techniques, and it, along with other degradation products, was found to be previously undescribed. These findings enhance the understanding of finasteride's degradation chemistry, aiding impurity profiling, stability studies, and quality control of its formulations.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research In Vitro Performance of Dutasteride-Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan Oligomer for Dermal Delivery
Dutasteride-loaded nanoparticles coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan show promise for treating hair loss due to their controlled release, low toxicity, and potential to stimulate hair growth.
research 5α-reduction of epitestosterone is catalysed by human SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 and increases androgen receptor transactivation
5α-reductases increase epitestosterone's effect on androgen receptors.
research withdrawn
Dutasteride works better than finasteride for hair growth with similar side effects.
research The 5α-Recluctase System and Its Inhibitors
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, like finasteride, are used to treat conditions like prostate issues and skin disorders.
research Dihydrotestosteron und die Rolle der 5α-Reduktasehemmer bei der benignen Prostatahyperplasie
A stronger dual 5α-reductase inhibitor could improve treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia by further reducing DHT levels.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers*
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research Male hormonal contraception: looking back and moving forward
New male hormonal contraceptives show promise but need more research on long-term effects and funding for larger trials.
