research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.

18 citations , January 2002 in “Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin/Chemical and pharmaceutical bulletin”

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

research Synthesis and biological evaluation of esters of 16-formyl-17-methoxy-dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 2

5 citations , November 2015 in “Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry”

This study found that aliphatic ester moieties in 16-formyl-17-methoxy dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives increased their potency as 5α-reductase type 2 inhibitors in vitro compared to finasteride.

research Novel Synthetic Steroid Derivatives: Target Prediction and Biological Evaluation of Antiandrogenic Activity

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.

Synthesis and Structure–Activity Studies of Side-Chain Derivatized Arylhydantoins for Investigation as Androgen Receptor Radioligands

research Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands

18 citations , April 2001 in “Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters”

This study identified the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 as a promising candidate for development as a radioiodinated androgen receptor ligand due to its binding affinity.

research Synthesis and biological evaluation of dimeric peptide derivatives as proliferation‐stimulating agents in human follicle dermal papilla cells

3 citations , September 2021 in “Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society”

In this study, dimeric peptide derivatives were shown to enhance the proliferation of human follicle dermal papilla cells in vitro, particularly promoting the ERK1/2 pathway, suggesting potential for developing peptide-based treatments for hair regeneration.

community How is dht not beneficial to you?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 111 upvotes 7 months ago

DHT is important for sexual function and mood, but finasteride and dutasteride can reduce DHT, causing side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. These treatments are effective for hair loss, but their impact on DHT leads to debate.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community Organic Self Tanner on bald Scalp?

1 upvotes 3 years ago

The user is using topical minoxidil and finasteride, along with daily derma rolling, and is considering using an organic self-tanner on their shaved scalp. They seek advice on whether the self-tanner's ingredients could harm hair regrowth.

community Is this broscience? From More Plates, More Dates

in Research/Science 21 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.

community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?

40 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.
