In this study, 4-(4-(phenylaminocarbonyl)benzoyl) benzoic acid exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity against the human type 2 steroid 5α-reductase isozyme among the compounds tested.

In this study, TASP0382088 showed potent selective inhibition of the ALK5 receptor, significantly reducing Smad2 phosphorylation in mouse skin following topical application.

This study observed that conjugates of the anticancer drug raltitrexed with dextran and albumin were more cytotoxic than the free drug at high concentrations, altering cell cycle effects.

This study found that a combination of curcumin and piperine demonstrated moderate antioxidant activity, negligible cytotoxicity, and significant potential for promoting hair regrowth in rat models of alopecia, suggesting it could be a safe and effective natural alternative for managing hair loss.

In this in vitro study, researchers found that a combination of soursop leaf extract and doxorubicin moderately enhanced the anti-cancer effect against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, but they did not report on reducing doxorubicin's side effects.

This study found that the hydromethanolic extract of Carthamus caeruleus L. rhizome demonstrated significantly higher antioxidant and cytotoxic activities compared to the chloroformic extract, particularly against NCI-H460 lung carcinoma cells, suggesting its potential use as a traditional treatment for burns.

Scientists made the first metal-based compounds from a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug, which showed potential in fighting both hormone-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells.

In this cell study, Eclipta alba extract inhibited cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, showing potential antiproliferative and anti-metastasis effects on liver and related cancer cell lines.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This study found that quinoa and safflower seeds powder exhibited anticancer activity against a liver cancer cell line and provided some protective effects against NAFLD in rats.

In this study, molecular docking simulations and cell-based assays suggested that certain analogues of cepharanthine might possess anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity.

This study found that torilin from Torilis japonica fruit extract inhibited 5 alpha-reductase in vitro more effectively than alpha-linolenic acid but less effectively than finasteride.

This study evaluated curcumin analogues as potential inhibitors of 17β-HSD3 in rat and human models, but it does not report new clinical findings.

3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs can strongly inhibit the enzyme linked to hair loss.

This study found that components derived from Uromedic® pumpkin seeds, especially Δ7-sterols, may inhibit DHT production and AR binding, potentially benefiting prostate and bladder health by moderating these mechanisms.

This study found that endophytic bacteria isolated from Leea indica leaves showed high antioxidant activity, suggesting they could be a novel source of natural antioxidants.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive assay to measure the inhibition of steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) by chemicals like finasteride and dutasteride, revealing species-specific differences in inhibitor efficacy between human and fish cell lines.

The researchers reported that protocatechuic acid reduced melanin synthesis and enhanced antioxidant activity in cultured human hair follicle melanocytes, indicating potential for skin whitening applications.

This study found that the serine protease inhibitor ONO-3403 significantly suppressed tumor growth in mice with induced squamous cell carcinoma without apparent side effects, suggesting its potential for cancer treatment.

This study found that 18-β-Glycyrrhetinic acid, a licorice component, stimulated human hair follicle cell proliferation, inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase, and suppressed TGF-β1, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth and prolonging the anagen phase.

In this study, the ethyl acetate extract of Semecarpus anacardium Linn leaves was reported to induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells, cause cell cycle arrest, and suppress tumor growth in mice.

This study found that extracts from the plant Platycodon grandiflorum, particularly the butanol extract, demonstrated potential in preventing hair loss by showing significant antioxidant activity, promoting cell proliferation, and inhibiting inflammation in various cell models.

This study showed that Thujae occidentalis semen extract inhibited 5alpha-reductase type 2 in laboratory tests and reduced androgen-related hair loss in animal models, suggesting potential use for male pattern baldness.

This study found that isotretinoin, a drug commonly used for acne, inhibits polyamine transport in Trypanosoma cruzi, leading to trypanocidal effects, and suggests its potential as a treatment for Chagas disease without affecting mammalian cell viability.

In this study, osthenol was identified as a highly potent inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase type I in LNCaP cells, significantly outperforming finasteride.

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.

This laboratory study concluded that TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels do not play a role in mechanotransduction processes in slowly adapting type II mechanoreceptors in isolated rat sinus hair follicles.

This study found that octahydrobenzo[c]quinolizin-3-one derivatives, particularly compound 3, were potent and selective inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 1.
