May 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study developed a chitosan-based minoxidil nanogel for improved topical delivery in treating alopecia. The optimized nanogel, created using ionic gelation and a Box–Behnken design, had a particle size of 135.4 nm, low polydispersity, high positive zeta potential, and 89.7% entrapment efficiency. It demonstrated skin-compatible pH, pseudoplastic rheological behavior, good spreadability, and physical stability. In vitro studies showed sustained drug release over 48 hours and better drug deposition compared to conventional minoxidil solutions, indicating its potential as an effective treatment for alopecia.
