This study developed a biocompatible hair-dyeing technology using a dark polyphenol complex, which demonstrated effective hair coating, improved mechanical strength, and strong antioxidant properties while maintaining high cell viability.

This research investigated the design and synthesis of steroid-based compounds as aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer, finding that certain structural modifications significantly enhance their inhibitory potency.

This study found that spironolactone directly inhibits 5 alpha-reductase activity in hirsute women, resulting in decreased conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which may contribute to its therapeutic effects.

This study found that the methanolic heartwood extract of Avicennia marina significantly inhibits 5α-reductase type 1, reducing 5α-DHT production by 52% in a cell-based assay with human hair dermal papilla cells.

In this study, novel substituted benzoyl benzoic acids and phenylacetic acids were potent and selective inhibitors of human steroid 5alpha-reductase type 2, with one compound showing promising bioavailability in rats for potential clinical evaluation.

Saw palmetto extract can block the enzyme that converts testosterone in pig prostate cells.

This study evaluated a new anti-baldness product, IPSTiC patch hair, designed to treat androgenetic alopecia, and reported that it effectively inhibits NO radical and 5α-reductase activity while maintaining safety and stability, suggesting its potential for topical use.

This study found that castration increased 5 alpha-reductase activity in the sebaceous glands of male hamsters, but administering testosterone propionate or 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone inhibited this effect.

Women have a higher DHT/testosterone ratio than men, possibly due to gut bacteria activity.

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.

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 isolated new geranylated coumarins from Mammea siamensis flowers and found that several of these compounds inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.

High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.

This study found that Ishophloroglucin A from brown seaweed may treat androgenic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting hair growth-related factors in human dermal papilla cells.

Nk-EE may help treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and preventing hair follicle damage.

This study suggests that Nepenthes kampotiana Lecomte ethanol extract may promote hair growth and inhibit cell death in models of androgenic alopecia, indicating potential as a treatment option.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.

This study found that phytosterols extracted from moringa seed oil may act as potential anti-alopecia agents by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, with ergostadienol showing particularly high affinity and stability in in silico simulations.

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.

This study found that in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a 3-month treatment with a long-acting GnRH agonist significantly reduced intraprostatic DHT and 3α-diol levels by about 90% and testosterone by about 75%.

This study found that SRD5a-3 is a highly efficient enzyme for converting hormones into androgens, with dutasteride being a much more potent inhibitor of SRD5a-3 than SRD5a-2.

This study found that GI198745 acts as a time-dependent inhibitor of rat 5α-reductase type 2 but a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of type 1, potentially making it more effective than finasteride in preventing rat prostate growth.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This study developed solid lipid nanoparticles for effective delivery of shRNA-encoding plasmids, showing reduced 5α-reductase levels in DU-145 cells without significant cytotoxicity.

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 used an in silico/in vitro approach to identify potential inhibitors of the enzyme SRD5A2, finding that the androgen receptor modulator MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor, although it does not act as a covalent inhibitor like finasteride.

This study found that the phytosterols β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol have low-to-negligible inhibitory activity against steroidal 5α-reductase type 2 compared to the synthetic inhibitor dutasteride, with β-sitosterol showing the highest activity among the tested phytosterols.

This study found that variations in sleep patterns, free testosterone, and 5-alpha-reductase type 1 activity are associated with changes in sebum excretion in women, which may contribute to variability in acne studies.

In this study, 12-Chloracetyl-PPD showed anti-cancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell viability and inducing apoptosis through reactive oxygen species production without harming normal cells.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.
