This review highlights that Cyproterone acetate combined with ethinylestradiol is highly effective for treating severe acne and hirsutism in women with hyperandrogenism, and it also provides benefits for cycle control and mood improvement, according to the analysis of 78 studies.

This article reviews the discovery and various physiological effects of cyproterone acetate, reporting its established indications for several androgen-driven conditions but providing no new clinical data.

This study reports that topical fish oil treatment in GsdmA3 Dfl/+ mice increased cellular proliferation and macrophages but did not affect COX-2 expression related to psoriasis-like skin changes.

This study found that treating asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 with cepharanthine did not significantly reduce the time to a negative test result, though 60 mg/day showed a non-significant trend needing further validation.

This study observed some differences in clinical outcomes when comparing CPA with spironolactone, flutamide, and finasteride, but no differences with other therapies, possibly due to small study size and non-standardized assessments; adverse effects could not be fully compared across treatments.

This study identified N-acyl arylsulfonamides, particularly N-(Boc-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamides, as steroid sulfatase inhibitors with improved cellular potency compared to previous compounds.

The researchers concluded that after the 2013 EMA recommendation, there was an overall reduction in CPA/EE prescriptions, but no substantial change in patient diagnoses or potential concurrent hormonal contraceptive use.

This case study details the successful use of metyrapone to manage severe Cushing’s disease symptoms and stabilize a patient’s biochemical parameters before she underwent pituitary surgery.
