Minoxidil (U10858) is an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel opener, a potent oral antihypertensive agent and a peripheral vasodilator that promotes vasodilation also affects hair growth. Minoxidil is also a potent inhibitor of soybean lipoxygenaseare with an IC50 of 20 μM[1][2][3].
Minoxidil (1-00 µM; 24 hours; RAMEC cells) treatment shows very low cytotoxicities in the whole area of concentrations examined (from 1 µM to 100 µM)[1].
Minoxidil (0.01 mmoL/kg body weight; intraperitoneal injection; for 3.5 hours; fisher 344 rats) treatment inhibits carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema with an inhibitory potency (49%)[1].
