This study found that prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in human keratinocytes through a mechanism involving ROS and REDOX potential, which could inform treatments for androgenic alopecia.

In this study, researchers observed that quiescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed reduced glycolysis but increased TCA cycle flux and mitochondrial respiration, with these changes linked to metabolic reprogramming involving yes-associated protein inhibition and malate cycle modulation, which supports extracellular matrix protein synthesis.

This study found that Annurca apple polyphenolic extracts reprogram hair follicle metabolism in mice, enhancing mitochondrial activity and keratin production while inhibiting some metabolic pathways.

This study reported that newly synthesized phenanthridin-3-one derivatives effectively inhibit human steroid 5-α-reductase.

This study identified potent dual inhibitors of 5α-reductases 1 and 2 that may aid in designing new drugs for related diseases.

This article outlines the synthesis of spiro[cyclohexane‐1,2′‐[2 H ]indene] derivatives similar to known steroid 5α‐reductase inhibitors, but it does not report experimental findings.

This study found that Bokusoku extract and its compound pentagalloyl glucose inhibited testosterone metabolism and sebum synthesis, suggesting potential therapeutic use for androgen-related acne.

In this study, a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet in atherosclerotic mice led to skin inflammation and hair problems, which could be reversed by inhibiting glycosphingolipid synthesis.

This study found that compounds 21–23 and 25 exhibited strong 5α-reductase II inhibition in vitro and significantly reduced rat prostate weight, performing comparably to finasteride.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study reported that newly synthesized progesterone derivatives significantly reduced prostate weight in testosterone-treated hamsters, with 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity dependent on the size of the substituent at C-17.

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

This study found that C-reactive protein may enhance monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells through NOX-mediated oxidative stress, suggesting a potential mechanism for atherogenesis.

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 study explored how modifying the 8-substituent of 8-bromobenzoquinolinone affects its selectivity in inhibiting both 5 alpha-reductase isozymes in the scalp.

In this study, a new Finasteride conjugate showed stronger inhibition of 5α-reductase and similar reduction of prostate hyperplasia in rats compared to Finasteride, with potentially improved toxicity.

This study found that among 17 beta-(N-ureylene-N,N'-disubstituted)-4-azasteroids, those with an N'-phenyl moiety were the most effective inhibitors of human type I 5 alpha-reductase.

This study found that inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase with finasteride counteracted stress-induced prepulse inhibition deficits in socially isolated rats by altering neuroactive steroid concentrations in the brain.

This study reported that newly synthesized nonsteroidal compounds were effective at inhibiting prostatic 5 alpha reductase isozyme 2, especially the compound with an N, N-diisopropylcarbamoyl substituent, suggesting potential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review discusses recent strategies targeting the neuroactive steroid biosynthetic pathway to enhance neurosteroidogenesis, highlighting their potential benefits for neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study explains finasteride's high potency and specificity as a mechanism-based inhibitor for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia by detailing its interaction with human type 2 steroid 5α-reductase.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

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

This study found that a eupafolin nanoparticle delivery system improved water solubility and skin penetration, enhancing its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against particulate matter-induced stress in skin cells.

This study suggests that an in ovo injection of CHIR-99021 promoted feather growth and follicle development in goose embryos by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.

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 study found that 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone was the most effective inhibitor of steroid 5α-reductase, showing stronger inhibition than avicequinone C in HaCaT cell assays.
