Steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) is a membrane-bound protein that is responsible for reducing steroids such as testosterone, progesterone, and androstenedione to 5-α reduced metabolites such as 5-α dihydrotestosterone (DHT), 5-α dihydroprogesterone and androstanedione, respectively. There are three isoforms of 5AR in humans: SRD5A1, SRD5A2, and SRD5A3. SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 have functionality for 5-α reduction of steroids in humans. DHT is a more potent androgen than testosterone and has a function in androgen receptor activation.

The inactivating mutations in 5αR2 lead to disorders of sexual development. The regulation of 5AR is important for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PC), and 5AR inhibitors are widely used for the treatment of androgen-dependent benign or malignant prostatic diseases.

HY-118091

LY191704	Inhibitor
LY191704, as a benzoquinolinone, is a potent, nonsteroidal, noncompetitive and selective human type I 5α-reductase inhibitor. LY191704 is a racemic mixture of the compounds LY300502 and LY300503. LY191704 may be useful in the research of human endocrine disorders associated with overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5α-reductase type 1.

HY-13635A

Finasteride acetate	Inhibitor
Finasteride (MK-906) acetate is a potent and competitive 5α-reductase inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 4.2 nM for type II 5α-reductase. Finasteride acetate has approximately a 100-fold greater affinity for type II 5α-reductase enzyme than for the type I enzyme. Finasteride acetate can be used for the research of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenic alopecia.

HY-105217

Turosteride	Inhibitor
Turosteride is a selective 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, with IC₅₀ values of 55 and 53 nM for human and rat prostatic 5 alpha-reductases, respectively. Turosteride can reduce the prostate and seminal vesicle weights.

HY-13613S2

Dutasteride-¹³C,¹⁵N,d	Inhibitor
Dutasteride-¹³C,¹⁵N,d is ¹⁵N and deuterated labeled Dutasteride (HY-13613). Dutasteride (GG745) is a potent inhibitor of both 5α-reductase isozymes. Dutasteride may possess off-target effects on the androgen receptor (AR) due to its structural similarity to DHT.

HY-U00376

5α-reductase-IN-1	Inhibitor
5α-reductase-IN-1 is an inhibitor of 5α-reductase, used for the research of patterned alopecia in combination with minoxidil.
