Epristeride is a selective, transition-state, non-competitive or
uncompetitive, irreversible inhibitor of 5α-reductase, and is specific to the
blazon II isoform of the agitator analogously to finasteride and turosteride
but clashing dutasteride.
Epristeride is different in its apparatus of activity about to
finasteride and dutasteride in that it binds irreversibly to 5α-reductase and
after-effects in the accumulation of an bootless circuitous of the 5α-reductase
enzyme, the substrate testosterone, and the cofactor NADPH.For this reason,
testosterone is bent in a trap, and it was initially speculated that the
alternate access in intraprostatic levels of testosterone apparent with
finasteride and dutasteride should not appear with epristeride.However,
consecutive analytic abstracts accept not accurate this hypothesis.Moreover, in
animosity of the actuality that epristeride is a actual almighty inhibitor of
5α-reductase blazon II (0.18–2 nM), it has been begin to abate circulating
levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by alone 25 to 54% afterward 8 canicule of
analysis over a dosage ambit of 0.4 to 160 mg/day.For this reason, about to
added 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride, the amount of
DHT abolishment with epristeride avalanche abbreviate of that adorable for
abounding analytic benefit.
