This article reviews methotrexate's pharmacokinetics and toxicity, emphasizing the role of urinary excretion and leucovorin in avoiding most toxic reactions; it provides no new clinical results.

This review article provides an updated overview of the pharmacology, mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and adverse events associated with topical minoxidil, a widely used treatment for androgenetic alopecia and other hair loss conditions, while noting that its exact mechanism is still not fully understood.

In this animal study, researchers found that cedrol, a constituent from Platycladus orientalis, significantly promoted hair growth in a dose-dependent manner in female C57BL/6 mice, surpassing results from blank control and 2% minoxidil groups over 21 days.

This review outlines the main findings from clinical trials on teriflunomide's efficacy and safety for relapsing multiple sclerosis, noting clinical considerations and exploring its mechanisms based on various studies.

This study found that combining minoxidil and retinol additively promoted hair growth in vitro, enhancing Erk- and Akt-dependent pathways and preventing apoptosis in dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes.

This study found that different species metabolized minoxidil into various products, with monkeys and humans showing similar profiles primarily excreting a glucuronide conjugate, while rats and dogs showed distinct differences.

This review of teriflunomide for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis examines its clinical and safety outcomes, finding it significantly reduces relapse rates and disability progression while being generally well-tolerated.

This review summarizes preclinical and clinical information on herbal products for hair loss treatment, highlighting their mechanisms, follicular penetration, and potential side effects, suggesting they may offer alternatives to synthetic drugs with fewer side effects.

This research investigated aqueous alginate-based hydrogels for delivering minoxidil and reported that using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with molar substitution 0.65 significantly enhanced minoxidil's solubility and skin permeability without damaging the epidermis, suggesting potential as an alternative to commercial minoxidil solutions.

This review discusses the pharmacological profile of teriflunomide for treating relapsing multiple sclerosis, highlighting its safety and effectiveness in reducing relapses and slowing disability progression, though direct comparisons with other oral medications are lacking.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

This article updates a prior work on pharmacophore modeling and highlights the advances in 3D database searching technologies for drug design, without presenting new research 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 article reviews recent advances in the synthesis of oxasteroids and reports no new experimental results.

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 some synthesized heterocyclic derivatives showed promising 5α-reductase inhibitor, antiviral, and anti-tumor activities, surpassing several reference drugs in effectiveness.

This study concluded that the best approach for detecting Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione administration in horses is monitoring the metabolites M1b or M4 in urine, detectable up to 77 hours post-administration.

This study found that finasteride- and minoxidil-loaded nanoparticles in a gel improved skin permeability and drug retention, suggesting a promising approach for topical alopecia treatment with reduced dosing frequency and side effects.

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.

Researchers made two new compounds that could be used for medicine.

This study identified 8-hydroxy germacrene B from Curcuma aeruginosa as a highly potent in-vitro 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with significant anti-androgenic activity, while exhibiting mild cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells without affecting human dermal papilla cells at tested concentrations.

This study analyzed the affinity, stability, and pharmacokinetics of compounds from Sansevieria trifasciata, reporting that three compounds showed promising molecular docking results against the androgen receptor and satisfactory pharmacokinetic profiles, similar to minoxidil, in an in-silico setting.

The document shows the state of pharmaceutical patents as of 1999, focusing on treatments for various diseases.

Minoxidil effectively treats severe hypertension but may cause side effects, so careful monitoring is needed.

This review examines experimental and clinical evidence on PDRN, a drug derived from salmon DNA that acts via the adenosine A2A receptor and shows promise for tissue repair and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in regenerative medicine.

Minoxidil treats high blood pressure and side effects can be managed.

This study found that aged tritiated thymidine breaks down and incorporates into cytoplasmic macromolecules, not DNA, suggesting caution in its use.

In this research, caffeine's versatile pharmacological actions were highlighted, demonstrating its stimulant, bronchodilator, diuretic, and potential anticancer effects through interactions with adenosine receptors, phosphodiesterase, and renal tubules, revealing valuable insights for drug development and therapeutic applications in medicine.

This study reported that new drugs, despite lower specificity compared to certain immunobiological therapies, are effective across various challenging dermatological diseases, such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo.
