Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines

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

3 citations , February 2021 in “Molecules”

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive assay to measure the inhibition of steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) by chemicals like finasteride and dutasteride, revealing species-specific differences in inhibitor efficacy between human and fish cell lines.

research In Vitro and In Vivo Skin Distribution of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Loaded Into Liquid Crystalline Nanoparticles

32 citations , June 2017 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences”

This study found that coating liquid crystalline nanoparticles with chitosan significantly enhanced the skin permeation of 5α-reductase inhibitors, suggesting a promising strategy for improving topical delivery in androgenetic alopecia treatment.

An Open-Label Randomized Multicenter Study Assessing the Noninferiority of a Caffeine-Based Topical Liquid 0.2% Versus Minoxidil 5% Solution in Male Androgenetic Alopecia

research An Open-Label Randomized Multicenter Study Assessing the Noninferiority of a Caffeine-Based Topical Liquid 0.2% versus Minoxidil 5% Solution in Male Androgenetic Alopecia

21 citations , January 2017 in “Skin Pharmacology and Physiology”

In this noninferiority study, researchers found that a 0.2% caffeine-based topical liquid was not less effective than 5% minoxidil solution in improving hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months.

research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma

19 citations , July 2005 in “Steroids”

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive LC–MS–MS assay to measure 3α-androstanediol levels in rat plasma and observed that testosterone raises these levels via a 5α-reductase pathway.

research Analytical methods of dutasteride: An overview

December 2023 in “Annals of phytomedicine”

This study reports that dutasteride, used alone or with tamsulosin, effectively reduces acute urine retention and surgery risk in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, and may lower prostate cancer incidence, suggesting potential chemopreventive benefits.
