January 1992 in “Juntendō Igaku/Juntendo igaku” Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow and directly affecting hair follicles.
May 2026 in “Revista Ensaios Pioneiros” This study explores a topical solution combining 5% minoxidil sulfate and 1% rosemary essential oil for treating androgenetic alopecia (AAG), a leading cause of hair loss. Minoxidil is known for promoting hair growth by enhancing peripheral vasodilation and extending the anagen phase, while rosemary oil offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for scalp health. Two formulations with different vehicle compositions were developed, both showing suitable physicochemical properties and homogeneity, indicating potential as a compounded treatment for AAG. The vehicle type did not affect the outcome. Further accelerated stability studies and clinical trials are recommended to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and safety of this combination.
Bubble microneedles effectively deliver drugs through the skin and mouth, improving treatment speed and efficiency.
Bubble microneedles effectively deliver drugs through skin and mouth, improving hair growth and lowering glucose.
May 2026 in “Drug Delivery” This study introduces a finite element analysis (FEA)-guided framework for designing separable bubble microneedles (BMNs) that optimize geometry and cavity parameters for controlled tip separation and robust insertion. The study tested minoxidil sulfate-loaded BMNs (MXS-BMNs) and insulin-loaded BMNs (INS-BMNs) for transdermal and sublingual delivery, respectively. The BMNs demonstrated effective payload release, with over 80% liberated within 10 minutes. In ex vivo tests, MXS-BMNs showed significantly higher minoxidil permeation compared to topical gel, and in vivo tests on mice showed accelerated hair regrowth. INS-BMNs effectively lowered glucose levels in diabetic rats, comparable to subcutaneous injections. This approach reduces empirical iteration, facilitating the development of efficient microneedle systems for rapid drug delivery.
