June 2018 in “Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry” This study identified that derivatives 4, 4b, and 4c strongly inhibited the enzyme type 1 5α-reductase and decreased reproductive organ weights in hamsters, suggesting potential as prodrugs for prostate tumor growth inhibition.
August 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that hydroxycinnamate derivatives, especially a compound named 10a, effectively inhibited SRD5A1 activity and protein expression in cell assays, suggesting potential for treating androgen-related conditions.
December 2025 in “Current Issues in Molecular Biology” This study evaluated novel steroids' potential as future hormonal therapies for neuroprotection in glucose disorders, but emphasized that further research is needed to optimize androgen antagonist use in the context of COVID-19 progression.
