Minoxidil is a high-grade reagent supplied by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries. 6-(1-Piperidinyl)pyrimidine-2,4-diamine 3-oxide, 6-(1-Piperidinyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine 3-oxide, Rogaine, Loniten, Regaine and Minoximen are some of the other chemical names used to denote this reagent. It is available in the form of a white or off-white crystalline solid. It is stable as long it is stored as per the recommended storage conditions. Burning or prolonged exposure to heat or flammable sources may produce hazardour decomposition products like carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides. It is incompatible with oxidising agents.

Minoxidil is a potent direct-acting peripheral vasodilator that reduces peripheral resistance and produces a fall in blood pressure. Minoxidil is an orally administered vasodilator with hair growth stimulatory and antihypertensive effects. It is converted into its active metabolite minoxidil sulphate by sulphotransferase enzymes. Minoxidil sulphate exerts its antihypertensive effect by opening of plasma membrane adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium channels, thereby directly and rapidly relaxing arteriolar smooth muscle and subsequent reduction of elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance. This agent's hair growth stimulatory effect may be mediated through its vasodilatory activity, thereby increasing cutaneous blood flow, or due to its direct stimulatory effect on hair follicle cells and forcing them from their resting phase into their active growth phase.
