    synthetic compound mimicking steroids with a nitrogen atom

    A 4-azasteroid is a type of synthetic compound that mimics the structure of steroids but includes a nitrogen atom at the fourth position in its chemical structure. These compounds are often used in medical treatments to inhibit enzymes like 5-alpha-reductase, which can help manage conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia (hair loss).
