Men taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors before or after bladder cancer diagnosis had a lower risk of dying from the disease.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Steroidal 5α-Reductase and 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase (CYP17) Inhibitors Useful in the Treatment of Prostatic Diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.

research Effects of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, neurologic, endocrine, and cardiovascular side effects, but these are rare and usually stop after ending treatment.
research Change in Hair Growth-Related Gene Expression Profile in Human Isolated Hair Follicles Induced by 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors – Dutasteride and Finasteride – in the Presence of Testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research Isolation and HPLC Quantitative Determination of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors from Tectona Grandis Leaf Extract
Teak leaf extract contains compounds that could help treat hair loss.
research Structural Basis for the Catalysis and Inhibition of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research The Extract of Thuja Occidentalis Semen Inhibited 5α-Reductase and Androgenetic Alopecia in B6CBAF1/J Hybrid Mice
Thujae occidentalis semen extract may help treat male pattern baldness by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and reducing hair loss in mice.
research Design of Liposome Formulations for CRISPR/Cas9 Enzyme Immobilization: Evaluation of 5-Alpha-Reductase Enzyme Knockout for Androgenic Disorders
New liposome treatment successfully delivers CRISPR to deactivate a key enzyme in androgen-related disorders.
research Bee Venom Promotes Hair Growth by Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Expression
Bee venom helps hair grow and may work better than some common treatments.
