What is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a piperidinyl pyrimidine derivative acting as a potassium channel opener (KATP channels). As a vasodilator, it reduces peripheral vascular resistance. In hair follicle research, minoxidil sulfate (active metabolite) opens KATP channels in dermal papilla cells, inducing follicle anagen phase and inhibiting apoptosis. Research tool for vascular biology, potassium channel pharmacology, and hair follicle biology. Research use only.
