March 2016 in “Neurotoxicity Research” In this study, finasteride pretreatment led to EEG changes in rats that suggest a mild reduction in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.
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.
