Notes: Minoxidil-d10 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of minoxidil (Item No. 15302) by GC- or LC-MS. Minoxidil is a pyrimidine derivative that was originally developed as an anti-hypertensive agent and unexpectedly found to stimulate hair growth. Minoxidil directly affects arteriolar smooth muscle to decrease vascular resistance in part by opening ATP-sensitive potassium channels.{24983,24984} It can activate cyclooxygenase 1 (AC50 = 80 μM), which is expressed in the dermal papilla of hair follicles, increasing prostaglandin E2 production in BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts and human dermal papilla fibroblasts.{4171}
