research Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1

49 citations , January 2004 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology”

This review discusses the development and selectivity of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly non-steroidal ones, and reports no new clinical trial results.

research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors

11 citations , December 2018 in “Assay and Drug Development Technologies”

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

research Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones: A Novel Class of Potent and Selective Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 1

28 citations , September 2000 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry”

This study identified novel compounds as selective inhibitors of the type 1 isoenzyme of 5α-reductase, displaying promising potential for treating DHT-dependent disorders such as acne and androgenic alopecia.

Synthesis of Phenanthridin-3-One Derivatives: Non-Steroidal Inhibitors of Steroid 5-Alpha-Reductase

research Synthesis of phenanthridin-3-one derivatives: Non-steroidal inhibitors of steroid 5-α-reductase

20 citations , June 1995 in “Tetrahedron Letters”

This study reported that newly synthesized phenanthridin-3-one derivatives effectively inhibit human steroid 5-α-reductase.

research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.

53 citations , June 1993 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.

community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

11 upvotes 3 years ago

Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.

community Trying to understand finasteride side effects and post finasteride syndrome

70 upvotes 5 years ago

The conversation discusses the side effects of finasteride, including low libido and erectile dysfunction, and the possibility of these effects being permanent, known as post-finasteride syndrome (PFS). Some users report personal experiences with PFS and debate whether the condition is real, with varying opinions on the reversibility of side effects and the role of individual biology.

community Hormonal Imbalance Theory and the "Trash Hormone"...

2 upvotes 3 years ago

Balancing hormones, particularly testosterone and DHT, may prevent hair loss and slow aging. Treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, zinc, magnesium, collagen, and natural DHT-blocking shampoos.
