research Multiple readout assay for hormonal (androgenic and antiandrogenic) and cytotoxic activity of plant and fungal extracts based on differential prostate cancer cell line behavior
The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.
research Topical Antiandrogens
Topical antiandrogens might treat skin issues like hair growth, balding, and acne, but finding effective treatments without side effects is challenging.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Percutaneous absorption of a new antiandrogen included in liposomes or in solution
Liposomes can make the antiandrogen RU 58841 more effective for skin application by reducing absorption, increasing skin retention, and targeting sebaceous structures.
research Process Development and Crystallization in Oiling-Out System of a Novel Topical Antiandrogen
In 2017, a new method was created to efficiently produce a topical antiandrogen, a compound used to treat excess sebum and acne, with a high yield and purity.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.
research The anti-androgen combination, flutamide plus finasteride, paradoxically suppressed LH and androgen concentrations in pregnant spotted hyenas, but not in males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research Steroid Hormones

research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research Anti-androgenic activities of the triterpenoids fraction of Ganoderma lucidum
The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors, antiviral and anti-tumor activities of some steroidal cyanopyridinone derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.
research Human androgenic steroids affect growth of dermatophytes in vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research A Review on Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

research Screening of synthetic and natural product databases: Identification of novel androgens and antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Alternative synthesis of the anti-baldness compound RU58841
A new, less toxic and more efficient method to create the anti-baldness compound RU58841 was developed in 2014.
research Anti-Androgen Effects of Extracts and Compounds fromGanoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum may help treat prostate cancer by blocking male hormones and slowing cancer cell growth.
research Steroidogenesis in steroid related cancers
Steroid-producing capabilities in certain cancers may contribute to treatment resistance.
