research Isolation and Structural Characterization of Finasteride Degradation Products by Preparative HPLC, HRMS, and NMR
This study investigates the degradation profile of finasteride, a drug used for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia, under stress conditions. Using LC–MS, three degradation products were identified under acidic conditions, with minimal degradation in alkaline and oxidative environments. The degradation products were isolated and analyzed using preparative HPLC, HRMS, and NMR spectroscopy. The study revealed that the degradation process of DP-1 involved cleavage of the tert-butyl amide and addition of water across the alkene moiety. The structure of DP-1 was established through various spectroscopic techniques, and it, along with other degradation products, was found to be previously undescribed. These findings enhance the understanding of finasteride's degradation chemistry, aiding impurity profiling, stability studies, and quality control of its formulations.

research The Dickkopf Protein Family in Non-Neoplastic Disorders: Emerging Roles and Therapeutic Targeting
The Dickkopf (DKK) protein family, known for regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, has been increasingly recognized for its roles in non-cancerous diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, myocardial injury, neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease, and dermatological issues including alopecia. Recent research highlights the potential of DKK proteins as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in these disorders. This review synthesizes findings from the past three years, exploring the DKK family's pathophysiological roles and clinical relevance, and discusses the challenges and opportunities in leveraging these proteins for diagnosis and treatment.
