Search for New Antineoplastic Agents Based on Structural Modifications of Steroidal 5α-Reductase, 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, and 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase Inhibitors

research Search for New antineoplastic agents based on structural modifications of steroidal 5α-reductase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase inhibitors

November 2025 in “Russian Journal of Oncology”

This review examines recent research on optimizing the structures of steroidal inhibitors for key steroidogenic enzymes used as cancer treatments, reporting on 209 new compounds with preclinical data that suggest structural modifications hold promise for developing new antineoplastic agents.

11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a Potent 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Inhibitor, Is Metabolized by Steroid-5α-Reductase and Cytochrome P450 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase to Produce C11α-Derivatives of 21-Deoxycortisol and 11-Hydroxyandrostenedione In Vitro

research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro

7 citations , April 2019 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

community Pls advice needed. 17-20 yo. Not seeing the progress I hoped for on finasteride + minoxidil. Any advice?

in Progress Pictures 22 upvotes 6 months ago

A user is experiencing hair loss despite using topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and 2% ketoconazole shampoo, and is seeking advice on further treatments. Suggestions include switching to dutasteride, trying oral minoxidil, addressing scalp inflammation, and considering dietary changes and supplements.

community Recent Study finds Laser caps are more effective than 5% minoxidil for AGA

in Research/Science 124 upvotes 2 years ago

Laser caps are found to be more effective than 5% minoxidil for treating hair loss, and when combined with minoxidil, they are even more effective. Some users report positive results with laser treatments, while others see no change; the devices are FDA approved, but opinions on their efficacy vary.

community 3 months progress pics (20 days ago)

241 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their 3-month hair loss treatment progress using 5% minoxidil, 1mg finasteride, and occasional nizoral. They noted significant progress and plan to continue treatments, with another update at the 6-month mark.

community What else is good. Besides the big 3.

in Chat 35 upvotes 1 year ago

Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
