    inhibits effects of male sex hormones like testosterone

    Antiandrogenic activity refers to the ability of certain substances to inhibit the effects of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. This activity is important in treating conditions like androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness) and prostate cancer, as it helps reduce the influence of these hormones on hair follicles and prostate cells.
