Finasteride (Synonyms: MK-906) |
Catalog No.GC16248 |
Le finastéride (MK-906) est un inhibiteur puissant et compétitif de la 5α-réductase, avec une IC50 de 4,2 nM pour la 5α-réductase de type II. Le finastéride a environ 100 fois plus d'affinité pour l'enzyme 5α-réductase de type II que pour l'enzyme de type I. Le finastéride peut être utilisé pour la recherche de l'hyperplasie bénigne de la prostate (HBP) et de l'alopécie androgénique.

Finasteride is an orally active testosterone 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (Ki= 10 nM). Target: 5-alpha ReductaseApproved: 1992Finasteride, a synthetic 4-azasteroid antiandrogen compound, is a specific inhibitor of steroid Type II 5α-reductase, an intracellular enzyme that converts the androgen testosterone into 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride is used in the treatment of prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). In benign prostatic hyperplasia, finasteride inhibits 5alpha-reductase activity in epithelium for Ki of 10 nM, significantly lower than in stroma (Ki = 33nM) [1].
