May 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study focused on creating a chitosan-based minoxidil nanogel to enhance the topical treatment of alopecia by improving drug retention and targeting. The optimized nanogel, developed using the ionic gelation method and Box–Behnken design, had a particle size of 135.4 nm, a low polydispersity index, a high positive zeta potential, and an entrapment efficiency of 89.7%. 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 solutions, indicating its potential as an effective treatment for alopecia.

January 2019 in “Journal of Pharmacy And Bioallied Sciences” The study identified the major component of the water fraction from katuk (Sauropus androgynous) leaves as an alkaloid compound with the molecular formula C21H39N6O2 and a molecular mass of 406.3131 m/z, named (S, S)-5, 5′-amino-4,4′-dihexyl-propyldihydropyrazol-3, 3′-one. This compound was not previously reported in S. androgynous. The research utilized liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and other analytical techniques to achieve this identification. The study highlighted the potential of katuk leaves in alternative treatments, particularly for hair growth, due to the presence of various phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. There were no conflicts of interest or financial support for this study.
