Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dutasteride inhibits both isoforms of 5-alpha reductase (5 alpha-Reductase 1/5aR1 and 5 alpha-Reductase 2/5aR2) to a similar extent (IC50 6nmol/l and 7 nmol/l, respectively), while finasteride only inhibits Type II. Dutasteride competes for binding to the LNCaP cell AR with an IC50 value of approximately 1.5 muM. The compound has been used to study the effects of 5-alpha-reductase inhibition on the binding and metabolism of testosterone and other steroids to androgen receptors, as well as its impact on the expression of genes involved in prostate growth and development.
