The diphosphonate was the most effective at preventing calcification in rats.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Ishige sinicola extract stimulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation via the bone morphogenetic protein 2/runt-related gene 2 signalling pathway
Ishige sinicola extract helps bone-building cells grow and mature, which could aid in treating osteoporosis.
research Anti-wrinkle effect of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1a-extracellular domain (BMPR1a-ECD)
BMPR1a-ECD reduces wrinkles much more effectively than retinoic acid.
research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1
Compounds 4, 4b, and 4c effectively inhibit an enzyme linked to testosterone conversion without significant toxicity.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
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 Protective effects of finasteride against testosterone-induced calcium oxalate crystallization and crystal-cell adhesion
Finasteride helps prevent kidney stones, but side effects need more research.
research Enzalutamide/finasteride/goserelin/zoledronic-acid
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Experimental Evaluation of 3-meta-Pyridine-1,2,4-Oxadiazole Derivative of Deoxycholic Acid as a Prototype of 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors in In Silico and In Vivo Models
The new compound may be a safer alternative to finasteride for prostate protection.
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 Therapeutic Strategies to Target the Androgen Receptor
Therapies targeting the androgen receptor are being developed to treat prostate cancer and improve bone and muscle health.
research D’orenone blocks polarized tip growth of root hairs by interfering with the PIN2‐mediated auxin transport network in the root apex
D'orenone stops root hair growth by disrupting auxin transport, but adding auxin can reverse this.
research In Vitroandin VivoStructure-Activity Relationships of Novel Androgen Receptor Ligands with Multiple Substituents in the B-Ring
Certain changes to the B-ring of androgen receptor ligands can increase their effectiveness for potential treatments of muscle and bone conditions.
research Loss of Repressor Activator Protein 1 Precipitates Cardiac Aging in Mice via p53/PPARα Signaling
Loss of Rap1 protein speeds up heart aging in mice.
research Identification of Beta-Sitosterol and Stigmasterol as Possible Inhibitors of 5 Alpha-Reductase 1: An In-Silico Study
Beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol might help prevent hair loss by blocking a specific enzyme.
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 Abiraterone and spironolactone in prostate cancer: a combination to avoid
Don't combine abiraterone and spironolactone for prostate cancer treatment as it may worsen the disease.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Association between 5-alpha reductase inhibition and risk of hip fracture.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not increase hip fracture risk.
research Gorab deficiency in skin dermis accelerates aging and is associated with dysregulation of RCHY1 ‐mediated P53 ubiquitination
