April 2026 in “microPublication” Recent research suggests that Minoxidil (MX), a common treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), may act as a partial agonist of Estrogen Receptor α (ERα). This study explored MX's potential estrogenic activity using estrogen-dependent cell lines, tryptophan emission, and computational docking. The findings indicate that MX might not only bind to the Androgen Receptor (AR) as an anti-androgen but also exhibit partial agonist activity on ERα, suggesting a possible connection to sex-hormone pathways in its mechanism for promoting hair growth.
