Finasteride Mechanism of Action
The development and enlargement of the prostate gland is dependent on the potent androgen, 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Type II 5alpha-reductase metabolizes testosterone to DHT in the prostate gland, liver and skin. DHT induces androgenic effects by binding to androgen receptors in the cell nuclei of these organs.
Finasteride has no affinity for the androgen receptor. In man, the 5á-reduced steroid metabolites in blood and urine are decreased after administration of finasteride.
