Some dibenzo compounds might help treat cancer with fewer side effects.
research Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) Negatively Regulate Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth and Epithelial:Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling
SARMs may be an effective treatment for a certain type of breast cancer by blocking cancer growth and spread.
research Human Osteoblast-Like Cells Express Predominantly Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 1
Human bone cells mainly produce a type 1 enzyme that may help regulate bone health.
research Reduced estradiol synthesis by letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is protective against development of pentylenetetrazole-induced kindling in mice
Letrozole may help prevent seizures by reducing certain hormone levels.
research Novel C-6 substituted and unsubstituted pregnane derivatives as 5α-reductase inhibitors and their effect on hamster flank organs diameter size
Certain compounds reduced hamster flank organ size by inhibiting 5α-reductase, like finasteride, without affecting androgen receptors.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research Advancing mitochondrial therapeutics: Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of pyrazole-based inhibitors targeting the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier
New pyrazole-based inhibitors show promise for treating metabolic diseases and other conditions.
research 258 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibition attenuates the adverse effects of glucocorticoids on dermal papilla cells
Blocking a specific enzyme can reduce the negative impact of stress hormones on hair growth cells.
research Neuroactive steroids inhibit spinal reflex potentiation by selectively enhancing specific spinal GABAA receptor subtypes
Progesterone reduces spinal reflex activity by increasing certain GABA(A) receptor subtypes.
research Suppression of mammary tumorigenesis in transgenic mice by the RXR-selective retinoid, LGD1069.
LGD1069 effectively prevents breast tumors in mice without toxicity.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Deoxycorticosterone’s anticonvulsant effects in infant rats are blocked by finasteride, but not by indomethacin
Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research Sex Hormones and Related Compounds, Including Hormonal Contraceptives
Hormonal contraceptives and related compounds can increase health risks like thrombosis and affect sexual function.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research The Effects of Estradiol, Androgens and the Selective Estrogen Modulators: Ospemifene, Raloxifene and Tamoxifen on Explant Cultures of Human Breast Tissue
Including androgens in hormone therapy may lower breast cancer risk.

Blocking CYP17A1 enzyme may help improve certain brain function issues related to dopamine.
research Epitestosterone
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Structure and Expression of a New Complementary DNA Encoding the almost Exclusive 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4-lsomerase in Human Adrenals and Gonads
