Overview

In vivo study shows enhanced hair growth with minoxidil nanoemulsion in animals, suggesting improved efficacy over commercial solutions.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effects of minoxidil nanoemulsions on hair growth and compare efficacy with commercial formulations.
  • Formulated 1%, 2%, and 5% minoxidil nanoemulsions and assessed their stability.
  • Conducted ex vivo permeation, in vivo irritation tests, and hair growth studies in animals.
  • Compared results with commercial minoxidil solutions (2% and 5%).
  • 5% minoxidil nanoemulsion improved hair growth and follicle count over commercial formulations.
  • No significant differences in permeation between nanoemulsion and commercial solutions for both 2% and 5% minoxidil.
  • Nanoemulsion did not cause skin irritation, and plasma concentrations of minoxidil were below detectable levels.
