2444C 00100 is referred as MINOXIDIL (for lab use) under Research Lab Fine Chem Industries catalogue. 2444C 00100 MINOXIDIL (for lab use) is laboratory grade reagent. Minoxidil is an antihypertensive and an antialopecia agent. 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.
