This study synthesized new heterocyclic steroid derivatives and reported their promising antiproliferative activity against breast and prostate cancer cell lines, highlighting selectivity and impact on signaling pathways even in cells resistant to certain treatments.

This study developed a new mask-free method using digital micromirror and microfluidic systems to create multicellular heterospheroids for drug screening, finding that heterospheroids exhibit higher drug resistance and combinatorial drugs are more effective than single drugs in cancer therapeutic applications.

The document concludes that scientists created various steroids with different properties, including a more effective semi-synthetic vitamin D.

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 article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.

This study found that certain steroidal compounds, especially 10a–10c, demonstrated strong antiandrogenic activity by binding to the androgen receptor and reducing prostate weight in a hamster model.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

This study found that anionic HSES achieved high complexation efficiencies with various steroids, significantly enhancing their solubility, while specific β-cyclodextrin thioethers showed selective binding to testosterone and estradiol.

This study found that various steroids affected the mRNA expression of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism in hamster flank organs, with different impacts depending on the steroid and combination used.

This paper reviews current knowledge about the structural formation and classification of steroid hormones, highlighting the importance of understanding their role in health and disease. It also identifies research gaps and suggests future studies to improve clinical practices and treatment plans.

This study found that pregnane derivatives with higher lipophilicity, like compound 9d, had stronger androgen receptor binding and greater antiandrogenic effects in rats, correlating relative binding affinity with log P values.

In this study, the synthesis of C-4 and C-6 bridged haptens of 11 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone revealed an unexpected formation of a C-4 substituted product using a 6-bromo derivative, contrary to prior reports.

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.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This article reviews how different 5alpha-reductase and 3alpha-HSD enzymes impact androgen levels and highlights their potential as drug targets for androgen-related diseases, but provides no new experimental findings.

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 a novel class of nonsteroidal ligands that can mimic the effects of dihydrotestosterone on androgen receptors, suggesting potential therapeutic applications in male fertility and hormone replacement therapy.

The authors concluded that plasma levels of 3α-diolG, ADTG, and DHTG in women with hyperandrogenic disorders primarily reflect adrenal androgen contributions rather than peripheral action, suggesting a potential index for treatment effectiveness.

This invention reports piperazine derivatives as potent inhibitors of type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, suggesting potential therapeutic applications in treating prostate cancer, acne, and androgenic alopecia.

This abstract lists key topics related to non-genomic steroid effects and protein interactions, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that compound 10 inhibited testosterone conversion to DHT in hamster flank organs and seminal vesicles, whereas compound 11's inhibitory effect varied with dose, linked to halogen electronegativity differences.

This research suggests that fluoxymesterone, an anabolic steroid, may inhibit a key enzyme, potentially contributing to cardiovascular issues by affecting cortisol's activation of mineralocorticoid receptors.

This study observed that the binding of certain hormones in rat skin varies cyclically with the hair cycle phases, with testosterone showing maximum binding in the catagen phase.

This study characterized the CYP154C7 enzyme from *Streptomyces* sp. PAMC26508, highlighting its ability to hydroxylate steroids efficiently, particularly androstenedione, and identified key amino acids important for substrate selectivity and catalytic efficiency.

This paper describes recent advancements in the synthesis of thiasteroids but reports no new experimental results, noting that introducing heteroatoms in steroidal structures has potential biological effects.

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

This study observed that new trienone compounds consistently showed higher 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity compared to corresponding dienones across various biological models.

This study found that diagnosing non-classical 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency solely based on elevated serum or urinary 5-ene-steroids may not be reliable.
