    • Finasteride is a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound. As a 4-azasteroid, it belongs to a class of organic compounds that are characterized by a steroid-like structure with a nitrogen atom replacing one of the carbon atoms in the steroid ring system. This structural modification is what gives finasteride its unique pharmacological properties, particularly its ability to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a more potent androgen involved in both male pattern hair loss and prostate enlargement
