CAS 164656-23-9: Dutasteride
Description:Dutasteride is a synthetic 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor primarily used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness. It functions by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone implicated in prostate growth and hair loss. Dutasteride is characterized by its high lipophilicity, allowing it to penetrate cell membranes effectively. The compound is typically administered orally and has a long half-life, which contributes to its sustained action in reducing DHT levels. It is known for its potential side effects, which may include sexual dysfunction, gynecomastia, and changes in liver enzyme levels. Additionally, due to its mechanism of action, it is contraindicated in women, particularly during pregnancy, as it can affect fetal development. The chemical structure of dutasteride includes a steroid-like backbone, which is essential for its biological activity. Overall, dutasteride represents a significant advancement in the management of conditions related to DHT.
