research Inhibitory effects of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers cromakalim, pinacidil and minoxidil on the carbachol–response curve in porcine detrusor muscle
Certain drugs can reduce bladder muscle contractions, potentially helping treat bladder diseases.
research Comparison of the effects of the K+-channel openers cromakalim and minoxidil sulphate on vascular smooth muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research Pharmacologic properties of minoxidil: a new hypotensive agent.
Minoxidil is a new drug that lowers blood pressure.
research Mechanism of action of minoxidil sulfate-induced vasodilation: a role for increased K+ permeability.
Minoxidil sulfate relaxes muscle by increasing potassium flow, making it a unique muscle relaxer.
research A Comparison of Minoxidil and Hydralazine in Non-azotemic Hypertensives
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure more effectively but has more side effects, so try hydralazine first.
research Electrophysiological mechanisms of minoxidil sulfate-induced vasodilation of rabbit portal vein.
The study explains how minoxidil sulfate causes vasodilation in rabbits by opening potassium channels and inhibiting calcium channels.
research Increased plasma renin by vasodilators promotes the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Vasodilators may worsen abdominal aortic aneurysm.

research Most recent findings of curative drugs for lower urinary tract symptoms in clinical practice
Current treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms include α1-blockers, 5ARIs, PDE5 inhibitors, anticholinergic agents, and β3-adrenergic receptor agonists.
research Biochemical Mechanisms by Which Minoxidil Sulfate Influences Mammalian Cells
Minoxidil sulfate relaxes blood vessels by increasing potassium permeability.
research KATP Channel Openers Inhibit Lymphatic Contractions and Lymph Flow as a Possible Mechanism of Peripheral Edema
KATP channel openers may cause peripheral edema by reducing lymphatic contractions and flow.
research Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
5α-reductase inhibitors and alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists together effectively treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, with long-term benefits.
research Usefulness of the vasodilator minoxidil in resistant hypertension
