February 1999 in “PubMed” This study found that the anticonvulsant effects of progesterone against PTZ-induced seizures in mice require conversion to allopregnanolone, as shown by the reversal of these effects with a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor.
June 2026 in “Oriental Journal Of Chemistry” This research found that a novel dehydroepiandrosterone derivative (12) significantly reduces cell viability and increases apoptosis in testosterone-stimulated normal and tumor prostate cells, unlike finasteride and dutasteride, which also showed activity under dihydrotestosterone stimulation.
