August 2012 in “Thermochimica Acta” In this study, researchers found that finasteride exhibits a solid-solid phase relationship that is enantiotropic at normal pressure and becomes monotropic at higher pressure.
August 2025 in “ChemPhotoChem” This study demonstrated that CD anisotropy effectively distinguishes between two polymorphs of finasteride with nearly identical electronic circular dichroism spectra, using imaging and simulated spectra to uncover unique signatures that traditional methods miss.
