Product Description:
Dutasteride is a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound that serves as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. It is primarily used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is available in capsule form. The chemical formula of dutasteride is C27H30F6N2O2, and it appears as a white to slightly yellow powder. Dutasteride is marketed under various brand names, including Avodart.
Function:
5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibition: Dutasteride works by inhibiting both Type 1 and Type 2 isoforms of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing the levels of DHT, it helps decrease the size of the enlarged prostate gland.
Reduction of Prostate Size: The reduction in DHT levels leads to a decrease in prostate volume, which helps alleviate the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as urinary frequency, urgency, and difficulty in urination.
Hair Growth Promotion: Dutasteride is also studied for its potential in treating androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) due to its ability to lower scalp DHT levels.
