finasteride UV spectrophotometric method Beer’s law Propecia

TLDR A reliable UV method was created to measure finasteride accurately.

A UV spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for estimating finasteride, measuring absorption at 255 nm. The method demonstrated linearity, accuracy, precision, and sensitivity, with Beer’s law applicable in the 5-25 μg/mL range and a correlation coefficient of 0.9933. Statistical validation and recovery studies confirmed the method's reliability for finasteride estimation.
