research Clinical application of 5α-reductase inhibitors
This review discusses the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors, particularly finasteride, for treating conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia, male baldness, and hirsutism, and reports no new clinical results.
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana tropicalis
This study found that chronic exposure to fadrozole or finasteride during frog development induced intersex individuals, which displayed different gene expression profiles depending on the chemical used.
research Novel Lead Generation through Hypothetical Pharmacophore Three-Dimensional Database Searching: Discovery of Isoflavonoids as Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Rat 5α-Reductase
This study identified eight isoflavone derivatives as potential nonsteroidal inhibitors of rat 5α-reductase using a pharmacophore model in virtual screening.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
This review discusses the potential uses of 5α-reductase inhibitors for conditions ranging from benign prostatic hyperplasia to skin disorders like acne and male pattern baldness, but it reports no new clinical results.

5 / 527 resultscommunity Androsterone as a Neurosteroid Replacement Strategy for 5α-Reductase Inhibitor–Associated Sexual and Affective Dysfunction
Androsterone may help with sexual and affective dysfunction from finasteride by replacing disrupted neurosteroids without increasing androgenic side effects. Controlled testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
community A better treatment would be a localized 5ar inhibitor that breaks down when it enters blood or leaves hair follicle
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
community A science based addition to your hair loss routine
Blocking the Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier and using aldose reductase inhibitors like Indian gooseberry and berberine may help with hair growth. Magnesium can also be added to increase NADPH.
community Thoughts on Avixis Alfatradiol?
Avixis Alfatradiol is a topical 5-alpha reductase inhibitor available in Latin America and Germany, but its effectiveness is questioned. A user reported worsened hair loss after using it and recommended finasteride instead due to its proven effectiveness and lower cost.
community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride
Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.

6 / 801 results- How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.
