Application

Minoxidil has been used as test drug:
  • in dermal papilla spheroid model, to study the effect of hair regeneration
  • administered orally to experimental rats, in the approach to identify biomarkers of drug induced vascular injury[1]
  • administered via oral gavage to nonhuman primate model in order to study its effect on tilt responses

Biochem/physiol Actions

Activates ATP-activated K+ channels; vasodilator; slow or stop hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
Minoxidil is originally used to treat hypertension, which also induces hypertrichosis. It is considered as a potent drug for treating androgenetic alopecia.[2]
