Application

Minoxidil sulfate (MXS) has been used as a drug agent to study its effects on alopecia in corticotropin-releasing factor over-expressing (CRF-OE) mice. It has also been used as a positive control in an assay for the culturing of rat vibrissa follicles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Minoxidil sulfate (MXS) is an endogenous derivative of minoxidil. It possesses greater aqueous solubility and is a potent vasodilator. MXS has the potential to treat androgenic alopecia or male baldness.
