Annotated Patent Selections

This invention reports piperazine derivatives as potent inhibitors of type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, suggesting potential therapeutic applications in treating prostate cancer, acne, and androgenic alopecia.

This review discusses nearly 70 patent applications for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and other hair conditions, highlighting the mechanisms of action explored but reports no clinical results.

This study found that hydroxycinnamate derivatives, especially a compound named 10a, effectively inhibited SRD5A1 activity and protein expression in cell assays, suggesting potential for treating androgen-related conditions.

This study reports that newly synthesized steroidal trienones exhibit higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity than dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential use in treating androgen-dependent diseases.

This study found that several synthesized pregnane derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone and reduced related androgenic parameters in multiple pharmacological models.

This study synthesized and evaluated hydroxycinnamate derivatives for their ability to inhibit human SRD5A1, finding that three compounds showed significant inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Compound 10a notably reduced SRD5A1 protein expression in cells, suggesting potential for nonsteroidal treatment of androgen-related conditions.
