May 1998 in “Steroids” This study constructed a model to predict finasteride's inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase type 2 and calculated that a 1 μM plasma concentration, after 50 mg administration, matches prostate inhibition levels.
This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of drug-polymer inclusion complexes and found that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, unlike griseofulvin, which requires guest molecules for structural stability.
This research elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying carbamazepine and griseofulvin's inclusion complex channel formations with polymers, revealing why carbamazepine forms stable channels independently, while griseofulvin requires polymeric support due to weaker interactions.
