research Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for doping control of 5α-reductase inhibitors finasteride and dutasteride
This study reported the development of two highly sensitive ELISA assays to detect banned substances finasteride and dutasteride in human urine, offering better sensitivity than existing HPLC/MS/MS methods.
research The enzyme and inhibitors of 4-ene-3-oxosteroid 5α-oxidoreductase
This review discusses biochemical studies on 5 alpha-reductase and its inhibitors, comparing IC50 and Ki values for various compounds, but reports no new experimental results.
research pH STIMULUS-RESPONSIVE HYBRID NANOPARTICLES: A SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR FOLLICULAR DELIVERY OF BRAZILIAN PLANT-DERIVED 5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE ENZYME INHIBITORS
This study developed innovative silica/natural polysaccharide hybrid nanoparticles encapsulating plant-derived 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, reporting effective controlled release at hair follicle pH and lower cytotoxicity, suggesting a promising delivery system for antiandrogenic treatments.
research Effect of the 5α-reductase enzyme inhibitor dutasteride in the brain of intact and parkinsonian mice
This study found that dutasteride may offer neuroprotection in early-stage Parkinson's disease by preventing loss of striatal dopamine and altering steroid levels in MPTP-lesioned mice.

5 / 733 resultscommunity How does some people revive their scalps with minoxidil only?
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.
community Is there any role for topical DHT antagonists, or does a 5-AR inhibitor remove the need for them as therapy
Topical androgen receptor antagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
community What happens if you combine dutasteride and a aromataze inhibitor?
Combining dutasteride and an aromatase inhibitor may increase testosterone levels significantly, potentially enhancing athletic performance but also posing health risks like elevated blood pressure and worsened cholesterol. The user is experimenting with dutasteride, anastrozole, minoxidil, and ketoconazole shampoo to manage hair loss and estradiol levels, while monitoring side effects and hormone levels.
community Similar 5ar inhibitors to fin?
Natural vitamins like pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and ecklonia cava are discussed for their potential to lower DHT levels. They may work similarly to finasteride but are significantly weaker.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.

6 / 801 results- Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.
