?Minoxidil?, its cas register number is 38304-91-5. It also can be called 6-(1-Piperidinyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine-3-oxide ; Loniten ; Regain ; Rogaine ; and 2,4-Diamino-6-piperidino-pyrimidine-3-oxide .?In 2007 a new foam-based formulation of 5% minoxidil was shown to be as effective as the liquid-based treatment for male pattern baldness. |
| Biological Activity: | Antihypertensive. Antialopecia agent. K + channel (K ATP ) activator. |
| Storage Temperature: | Keep in a cool, dry location. Keep containers closed when not in use. Protect from light. |
| Color: | Crystals from methanol-acetonitrile White to off-white, crystalline powder |
| Usage: | Used as an antihypertensive and antialopecia agent. Minoxidil activates ATP-activated K+ channels |
