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.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Biological Activity

Description

IC₅₀ & Target

IC50: 4.2 nM (type II 5α-reductase)^[1]

In Vitro

Finasteride (10 μM; 6-24 h) induces the expression of HO-1 and Nrf2 proteins in PC-3 cells^[2].
Finasteride decreases the conversion of [³H]testosterone (T) to [³H]dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in P. crustosum^[1].

Cell Viability Assay^[2]

View Protocol

Cell Line:

PC-3, DU-145, and LNCaP cells
Concentration:

10 μM
Incubation Time:

6, 12, 24 h
Result:

Increased the expression of HO-1 protein in a time-dependent manner in PC-3 cells.
Induced the expression of Nrf2 protein in DU-145 and PC-3 cells, but not in LNCaP cells.

In Vivo

Finasteride (0.1-0.5 mg/kg; p.o. once daily for 16 weeks) reduces prostatic size in dogs with BPH without adversely affecting semen quality or serum testosterone concentration^[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:

Male dogs with spontaneous BPH (2.7-11 years old; 10.3-49 kg)^[3]
Dosage:

0.1-0.5 mg/kg
Administration:

P.o. once daily for 16 weeks
Result:

Decreased prostatic diameter (20%), prostatic volume (43%), and serum DHT concentration (58%).
Decreased semen volume but did not adversely effect on semen quality or serum testosterone concentration.
No adverse effects on dogs.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
