5 alpha Reductase
5α-reductase
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.

Germacrone
0 ImagesGermacrone is a sesquiterpene compound with multiple biological activities. Germacrone inhibits the H1N1 and H3N2 influenza A virus and the influenza B virus. Germacrone blocks the progressionof arthritis by regulating Th1/Th2 balance and inhibiting NF-κB signaling. Germacrone can arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 and G2/M phases and induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Germacrone inhibits 5α-reductase and has anti-androgenic effect. Germacrone has neuroprotective functions and can be used for the study of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Germacrone also has antioxidant activity.
