This study found that rosemary oil from PT. Eteris Nusantara meets European Pharmacopoeia quality standards and is suitable for further hair growth pharmaceutical formulation.

This study found that the n-butanol extract from Untica mairei Levl's roots significantly inhibited 5α-reductase activity in an in vitro model using rat prostate enzyme.

This study suggests that in SZ95 sebocytes, a pathway for DHT biosynthesis does not require testosterone as an intermediate, potentially impacting the treatment of androgen-sensitive skin conditions.

This study found that hamster sebaceous glands have high affinity binding sites for dihydrotestosterone, with competition from other steroids indicating specific binding characteristics.

This study reported that C. procera leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against several dermatophytes, with ethanol extracts demonstrating slightly greater efficacy than aqueous extracts.

This study synthesized and evaluated hydroxycinnamate derivatives for their ability to inhibit human SRD5A1, finding that three compounds showed significant inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Compound 10a notably reduced SRD5A1 protein expression in cells, suggesting potential for nonsteroidal treatment of androgen-related conditions.

This review details the causes, symptoms, and treatments for dandruff, emphasizing herbal ingredients with anti-dandruff properties used in shampoos and exploring their antifungal and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. It highlights dandruff's exploitation by personal care companies due to the lack of medical interventions.

This study found that diphlorethohydroxycarmalol significantly increased prostaglandin $E_2$ synthesis in HaCaT human keratinocytes by upregulating COX-1 and COX-2 expression, suggesting potential benefits from elevated $PGE_2$ production.

This study found that oil extracts from the plants Hedyotis corymbosa, Inula racemose, and Holostemma adakodien demonstrated significant antibacterial and antifungal activity in vitro compared to standard antibiotics and antifungals.

This source reviews the potential of polyphenols as therapeutic and preventive treatments for common skin disorders such as acne, fungal infections, dermatitis, alopecia, and skin cancer, emphasizing their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects and ability to penetrate the skin barrier.

The researchers reported that compounds 11 to 13 derived from Westphalen-type steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity in vivo, though their effects could not be attributed to 5α-reductase inhibition or androgen receptor binding.

This review identified 12 herbal plants producing essential oils with pharmacological activities that stimulate hair growth, potentially through enhanced scalp microcirculation, inhibition of 5α-reductase, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, anagen phase stimulation, and increased dermal papilla cell proliferation.

This study identified a new enzyme, skin l‐tryptophan‐2,3‐dioxygenase, that may play a role in rat hair growth regulation, showing increased activity during peak hair growth periods.

In this study, researchers used computational methods to identify six phytochemicals from nettle, saw palmetto, and fenugreek as effective binders to 5-alpha reductase, with Jamogenin showing enhanced stability when encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles.

This study found that the green alga Botryococcus terribilis and its novel compounds significantly promoted hair growth marker gene expression in hair follicle dermal papilla cells without cytotoxic effects.

This study investigated the phytochemicals in Phyla nodiflora leaf extracts and identified n-Hexadecanoic acid, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol as promising drug candidates for diabetes, alopecia, cancer, and anti-diuresis, advocating further research into these compounds.

This study found that extracts from Terminalia bellirica enhanced dermal papilla cell viability, inhibited androgen-related pathways, and stimulated hair regrowth in a mouse model, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia through multi-target mechanisms.

This review discusses the potential of phytochemicals from plants as alternative treatments for prostate cancer, highlighting their possible benefits over current 5-alpha-Reductase inhibitors, but reports no new findings.

This study found that DHA, a derivative of artemisinin, shows potential as a cosmetic ingredient due to its anti-aging, anti-hair loss, antibacterial, whitening, and anti-glycation activities.

This study found that several synthesized compounds were potent inhibitors of human steroid 5alpha-reductase type 2 and reduced prostate weights in treated rats, with compound 15 showing promise for potency in humans.

In this study, researchers isolated five new compounds from Monascus purpureus wmd2424 and found that four exhibited mild antifungal activity against several fungi.
