May 2026 in “Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications” This study investigates the formation of a stable inclusion complex between the active ingredient MPPC, found in Minoxicapil®, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) for alopecia treatment. Using 1H NMR titration and ROESY experiments, a 1:1 host-guest stoichiometry was identified, with the pyrrolidinyl moiety of MPPC preferentially inserted into the β-CD cavity. Molecular simulations confirmed the stable complex formation, driven by hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Strat-M® Franz diffusion studies showed low systemic exposure after 24 hours, and in vitro assays indicated enhanced proliferation of dermal papilla cells (DPCs), supporting the formulation's effectiveness for topical hair-loss treatment.

February 2024 in “Al-Azhar International Medical Journal /Al-Azhar International Medical Journal” The study compared the effectiveness of topical 15% lactic acid solution and topical betamethasone valerate lotion in treating multiple patchy alopecia areata (AA) in 50 patients, divided into two groups of 25 each. Group A used the lactic acid solution, while Group B used the betamethasone lotion, both for 12 weeks. The results indicated that betamethasone valerate lotion was more effective in managing multiple patchy AA. The study suggests that future research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods could provide further insights.
