This study identified that the enzyme CYP2B12 is skin-specific and likely plays a role in the metabolism of arachidonic acid, a key component in lipid signaling within sebaceous glands.

This study found that an enzymatic method effectively identified chemical treatments like perming and dyeing by detecting higher degradation in treated hair compared to untreated hair.

This study found that cystatin M/E strongly inhibits human cathepsin V and cathepsin L via distinct non-overlapping sites, suggesting an important role in human epidermal differentiation and hair follicle morphogenesis.

This article discusses the functions of the enzyme 17beta-HSD10, including its role in steroid metabolism and potential links to Alzheimer's disease, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that several dehydroepiandrosterone ester derivatives effectively reduced prostate and seminal vesicle weight in gonadectomized hamsters treated with testosterone, demonstrating potential antiandrogen effects comparable to Finasteride.

This study examined the stability of two 5α-reductase inhibitors in Tectona grandis extracts, finding that they are more stable in acidic environments and degrade rapidly under heat and light unless protected, suggesting the need for careful storage when developing anti-hair loss medications.

This study identified natural compounds from Iris plants that showed potential as inhibitors of urease and carbonic anhydrase-II enzymes, suggesting their possible use in treating related disorders.

This study found that Mf-rich-fiber in human hair underwent significantly greater degradation by proteases than Ma-rich-fiber, especially when treated with Proteinase K.

In this study, researchers developed a method to control the valence states of Mo in nanozymes, optimizing their activity for ROS-related therapies, particularly acute kidney injury treatment, and enabling real-time monitoring with photoacoustic imaging.

This study observed that equine epididymis mainly expresses the type 1 isoform of 5α-reductase and effectively converts progesterone and testosterone to DHP and DHT, while finasteride and dutasteride inhibited this activity.

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.

This study found that newly synthesized steroidal trienones demonstrated stronger 5α-reductase inhibitory activity compared to dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential for developing enhanced antiandrogenic drugs.

The anti-hangover product may boost enzyme activity to help prevent brain damage.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

In this study, researchers introduced a machine learning approach to discover new nanozymes through the DiZyme platform, enabling the accurate prediction of multiple catalytic activities, and providing a comprehensive database and assistant resources for users.

This study found that SRD5a-3 is a highly efficient enzyme for converting hormones into androgens, with dutasteride being a much more potent inhibitor of SRD5a-3 than SRD5a-2.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

This study found that specific residues in human steroid 5alpha-reductase types 1 and 2 influence substrate binding and resistance to the inhibitor Finasteride, with certain substitutions significantly affecting these interactions.

In this study, researchers using QM/MM simulations identified key molecular motions and residue interactions in the enzyme SRD5A2 that significantly influence its catalytic efficiency, demonstrating that specific residues play critical roles in stabilizing transition states and reducing activation barriers.

This review examines the development and challenges of using PROTACs, a targeted protein degradation strategy, to treat cancer by degrading specific proteins like PARPs and GPX4, highlighting issues such as target diversification and bioavailability.

This study found that patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis exhibit lower levels and activity of DNase1, impairing NET degradation, and suggests DNase1 administration as a potential treatment.

This study isolated highly pure oleanolic and maslinic acids from olive milling residues, exploring their chemical reactions, including the formation of finasteride precursors.

This study reported that while no synthesized compounds surpassed finasteride in 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, certain 4-azasteroid-2-oximes exhibited notable inhibition.

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.
