research In vitro and In vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-phenylcarbamoyl) androst-4-en-3- one Derivatives as 5a-reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research A New Look at the 5á-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride, a medication, is being re-evaluated for its effects and uses.
research The novel drug CS-891 inhibits 5alpha-reductase activity in freshly isolated dermal papilla of human hair follicles.

Plant-based compounds may offer safer prostate cancer treatment with fewer side effects.
research Torilin fromTorilis japonica,as a New Inhibitor of Testosterone 5α-Reductase
Torilin from Torilis japonica can inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase but is less effective than finasteride.
research Efficacy and safety of a dietary supplement containing a lipid co-extract from Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in women. Results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
The supplement with Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum significantly increased active hair growth and decreased rest phase hair in post-menopausal women with hair loss, with only mild digestive side effects.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research The role of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors in active surveillance

research The role of dutasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction and related conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
research Use of high dose cyproterone acetate and risk of intracranial meningioma in women: cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate increase the risk of brain tumors in women, but the risk decreases after stopping the medication.
