TLDR Finasteride's molecular and crystal structures help develop new drug formulations.
This document is a compilation of summaries of different studies that analyze the molecular and crystal structures of finasteride, a drug used for hair loss and prostate enlargement. The studies provide insights into the drug's structural properties, including its ability to form molecular complexes and polymorphs, and offer valuable information for developing new formulations and dosage forms of the drug. The studies use various techniques, including X-ray crystallography and solid-state IR, to analyze the drug's structure and provide atomic coordinates, isotropic displacement parameters, and hydrogen-bond geometry.
