Finasteride (Proscar@), is a potent and specific inhibitor of 5a-reductase, which inhibits the conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) an import
This paper describes the rational design and synthesis of novel inhibitors of human steroid 5a-reductase. Steroidal nitrones were synthesised via an eight-step sequence from epiandrosterone and were tested for activity against type I and II 5a-reductase isozymes. Judicious placement of the nitrone i
