Application
Finasteride has been used:
- as a component of L-15 media to investigate the effects of finasteride exposure on brain, liver and testis tissues[1]
- in culture medium to treat tumor cells in vitro[2]
- as a positive control to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)[3]
- to examine its effect on structural and molecular biology on the ventral prostate of senile mice[4]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Finasteride can reduce serum and scalp dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by preventing the transformation of testosterone to DHT.[5] It is usually used to manage benign prostate hyperplasia and pattern hair loss in male.[6] Finasteride possesses androgen-distracting properties.[1]
Selective 5α-reductase inhibitor; antiandrogen.
