finasteride

Finasteride (MK-906) is an oral inhibitor of active testosterone 5-alpha-reductase and Ki value is 10 nM.

Finasteride (MK-906) acetate is a potent and competitive 5α-reductase inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.2 nM for type II 5α-reductase, demonstrating approximately 100-fold higher affinity for type II than type I. Finasteride acetate can be used for research on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenic alopecia [1] [2] [3].

Dihydro Finasteride is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is T66849 and the CAS number is 98319-24-5.

Finasteride-d9 is a deuterated compound of Finasteride. Finasteride has a CAS number of 98319-26-7. Finasteride is an oral inhibitor of active testosterone 5-alpha-reductase and Ki value is 10 nM.

Torilin is an inhibitor of testosterone 5 alpha-reductase, it (IC50 = 31.7 + - 4.23 microM) shows a stronger inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase than alpha-linolenic acid (IC50 = 160.3 + - 24.62 microM) but is weaker than finasteride (IC50 = 0.38 + - 0.06 microM). Torilin has immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties, it inhibits inflammation by limiting TAK1-mediated MAP kinase and NF-κB activation, it can attenuate arthritis severity, modify leukocyte activations in dLNs or joints, and restore serum and splenocyte cytokine imbalances. Torilin inhibits melanin production in alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone-activated B16 melanoma cells, with an IC(50) value of 25 microM. Torilin shows excellent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 spores and vegetative cells. Torilin has a potent anti-angiogenic activity both in vivo and in vitro, and it may have a strong activity to suppress tumorigenesis by inhibition of tumor invasion, it reverses multidrug-resistance in cancer cells, it can potentiate the cytotoxicities of adriamycin, vinblastine, taxol and colchicine against multidrug-resistant KB-V1 and MCF7 ADR cells.
