Current antiandrogen therapies are constrained by drug resistance, off-target toxicity, and limited long-term efficacy. Plant extracts, enriched with bioactive constituents such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and flavonoids, represent promising multi-target candidates. Therefore, focusing on plant extracts\u2014particularly those of dietary origin\u2014this review summarized the mechanisms by which they regulate androgen-dependent and androgen-independent signaling pathways, and recent advances in nutritional interventions targeting androgen-responsive organs. Furthermore, it discussed the multi-component combined effects and factors affecting in vivo exposure of plant extracts, including metabolic transformation and tissue distribution, which may influence the anti-androgenic activity. In summary, anti-androgenic plant extracts primarily target androgen synthesis and AR signaling across various androgen disorder models, with crosstalk into cell growth and cycle, anti-inflammatory pathways, and regulation of growth factors. This multi-target regulation relies on the mixture effects of plant extracts. Future research should focus on three directions: extract standardization, clinical validation, and advanced delivery systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31162849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T15:48:36Z","timestamp":1786722516000},"page":"2849","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Anti-Androgenic Potential of Plant Extracts: Molecular Mechanisms, Synergistic Effects, and Nutritional Interventions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Yijing","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6944-2021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0564-4265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food Science and Engineering, Jilin University, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1038\/s41580-022-00572-w","article-title":"Metabolites as signalling molecules","volume":"24","author":"Baker","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nat.
