This source highlights that while plant sterols show potential benefits and applications in various industries, significant research gaps, including their complex structures and mechanisms, hinder their broader use, emphasizing the need for innovative sources and sustainable methods for their study.

This study suggests that Equisetum debile extracts, particularly the ethyl acetate fraction, may offer natural cosmeceutical benefits for treating hyperpigmentation, delaying skin aging, and remediating hair loss due to androgenic alopecia.

This study found that some synthesized 17-oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters demonstrated stronger cytotoxicity and antiandrogenic activity against prostate cancer cells than finasteride.

This study found that astilbin downregulates effector CD4+ T cell activities through the CYP1B1/ROS/PPARγ pathway, suggesting its potential use in treating inflammation.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, showing effects comparable to the standard drug metformin.

In this study, estetrol (E4) treatment was associated with increased hair growth in ex vivo human hair follicles, suggesting its potential as a treatment for hair loss disorders.

This study found that Sida cordifolia collected in Colombia is a good source of steroidal saponins, which may contribute to its antioxidant and antifungal properties.

This study found that GD-23, a dipeptide ligand of TSPO, exhibited an anxiolytic effect in the elevated plus maze test, which was inhibited by selective neurosteroid synthesis inhibitors, suggesting a neurosteroidogenic mechanism.

In this study, researchers used genomic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic methods to explore the biosynthetic capabilities of S. longa, aiming to better understand the species and lay the groundwork for future studies on the biosynthesis and therapeutic use of cepharanthine and similar alkaloids.

This study found that Sophora flavescens extract promoted hair growth in mice by advancing the hair cycle and may inhibit acne-causing bacteria, though it did not affect in vitro hair follicle cell growth.

This study found that 10,11-dibrominecrebanine (2Br-Cre) and Stephanine demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in various experimental models, with 2Br-Cre showing enhanced efficacy over Cre and both compounds potentially mediating their analgesic effects through opioid receptors.

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 human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (DHEA ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of minoxidil, indicating another pathway contributing to its metabolism in humans.

This study investigated the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals from Phyla nodiflora, identifying 50 bioactive compounds through GC-MS analysis. Among them, n-hexadecanoic acid, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol showed promise in molecular docking studies as drug candidates for diabetes, alopecia, cancer, and anti-diuresis.

In this study, topical application of the SCD1 inhibitor XEN103 significantly reduced sebaceous gland size and number in mouse skin, suggesting potential local therapeutic effects for acne treatment without systemic side effects.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

This study notes the ongoing challenge in developing new drugs for androgenetic alopecia, mentioning that both minoxidil and finasteride were originally intended for treating hypertension. Results are not reported.

This review discusses the potential of asiaticoside from Centella asiatica for enhancing wound healing after endoscopic submucosal dissection and highlights delivery strategies to improve its gastrointestinal application; it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that Platycarya strobilacea extract promotes hair growth in mice by enhancing stem cell factor expression, reducing mast cell numbers, and increasing cytokines associated with hair growth.

In this study, researchers formulated a topical gel containing β-sitosterol for alopecia treatment and found it demonstrated good 5 alpha reductase inhibitory activity in vitro, comparable to a commercial product, indicating its potential for further antiandrogenic activity investigation.

This study identified optimal parameters for extracting oil from Urtica dioica roots to maximize phytosterol content, using corn oil and a 1:5 raw material-extract ratio over a 6-hour maceration period.

In this study, a hydro-alcoholic extract of Urtica dioica demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activity, potentially linked to its ferulic acid content.

This study found that SDG did not significantly affect prostate weight in rats with BPH, but it may reduce serum PAP activity and alter prostate tissue changes induced by Testosterone Propionate.

This article reviews carbohydrate metabolism in plants, focusing on enhancing soybean product diversity and quality, and reports no new research results.

This review discusses indole-based bifunctional aldose reductase inhibitors and antioxidants for diabetic complications and chronic inflammation-related pathologies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reviewed the genetic and phenotypic aspects of Olmsted syndrome, highlighting pathogenic mutations in TRPV3 and MBTPS2 genes and their association with specific skin manifestations like symmetrical keratoderma and hyperkeratotic plaques.

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.

This review discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in steroid hormone metabolism and highlights the need for more research on its expression and regulation, especially regarding hormone-dependent tumors.

This study found that steroid sulfatase in the dermal papilla of hair follicles metabolizes dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate to support the development of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential for steroid sulfatase inhibitors as treatments.
