Application

Minoxidil sulfate (MXS) has been used as a drug agent to study its effects on alopecia in corticotropin-releasing factor over-expressing (CRF-OE) mice. It has also been used as a positive control in an assay for the culturing of rat vibrissa follicles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Minoxidil sulfate (MXS) is an endogenous derivative of minoxidil. It possesses greater aqueous solubility and is a potent vasodilator. MXS has the potential to treat androgenic alopecia or male baldness.

Glyburide, a sulfonylurea, and U-37883A, a guanidine (4-Morpholinecarboximidine-N-1-Adamantyl-N' cyclohexylhydrochloride), have been previously characterized as antagonists of the vascular ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP). In this report, the in vitro interaction between these two chemically distinct KATP antagonists was investigated using isolated

The K+ channel openers, including cromakalim, pinacidil, minoxidil sulfate, diazoxide, and nicorandil, form a chemically heterogeneous group of compounds, which relax smooth muscle by opening plasmalemmal K+ channels. At present it is not known whether these drugs elicit their effects

This study describes the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of a guanidine 4-morpholinecarboximidine-N-1-adamantyl-N'-cyclohexyl-hydroc hloride (U-37883A), as an antagonist of vascular ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP). In isolated rabbit mesenteric artery, the antagonistic effects of U-37883A (0.5-5 microM) were studied against
