This is a list of 5α-reductase inhibitors (5α-RIs), drugs which inhibit one or more isoforms of the enzyme 5α-reductase.This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of the androgen hormone testosterone into the more potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and is essential for the production of neurosteroids like allopregnanolone, tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC), and 3α-androstanediol from ...

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is a precursor of cyproterone acetate (CPA), an antiandrogen, progestin , and antigonadotropin which was introduced instead of cyproterone and is ...
A nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) is an antiandrogen with a nonsteroidal chemical structure. [1] [2] [3] They are typically selective and full or silent antagonists of the androgen receptor (AR) and act by directly blocking the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
