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 β-sitosterol, a brain-penetrable phytosterol, reduced melanoma cell growth and brain metastasis formation by interfering with mitochondrial respiration, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy to BRAF inhibitors for patients with melanoma brain metastases.

This review discusses how Western diet may contribute to acne vulgaris through insulin signaling and metabolomic changes, promoting a dietary approach for management, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, rice straw-derived smoke water enhanced root growth in rice plants by increasing root meristem size and cell proliferation, reducing superoxide accumulation under phosphorus deficiency, and altering internal phosphorus partitioning, although it suppressed root hair elongation, which affected phosphate uptake.

This study found that a combination of 5% hexane extract of Curcuma aeruginosa and 5% minoxidil slowed hair loss and increased hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that 60% of men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia showed improvement after treatment with botanically derived 5AR inhibitors, suggesting these compounds may be effective, though larger trials are needed.

This review discusses the potential of plant-derived phytochemicals as alternatives to 5-alpha-Reductase inhibitors in treating prostate cancer, highlighting possible benefits like reduced side effects, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that certain curcumin analogs derived from natural plant sources exhibit anti-androgen activity by inhibiting steroid 5-alpha reductase, identifying key structural features for their potency and safety in treating androgen-related conditions.

In this study, quercetin and kaempferol, two plant-derived flavonoids, showed stronger binding affinities to JAK3 kinase and moderate binding to 5-alpha reductase type 2, suggesting their potential as natural treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with quercetin demonstrating suitable properties for topical application.

This study used molecular docking to analyze the binding affinities of quercetin and kaempferol, plant-derived flavonoids, showing they have promising interaction profiles with JAK3 kinase and moderate binding with 5-alpha reductase type 2, suggesting potential as topical treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses plant-derived phytochemicals, such as phytosterols, polyphenols, and fatty acids, as potential alternatives to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer treatment, highlighting their promising anti-cancer properties and potentially fewer side effects compared to conventional drugs.
