Effective topical delivery of minoxidil via chitosan coated nanocapsules to remodel microenvironment of dermal follicle for hair regeneration
The study investigates the use of chitosan-coated nanocapsules (ChiNCs) for delivering minoxidil topically to treat hair loss. These nanocapsules enhance the solubility and skin penetration of minoxidil without the need for irritating solvents. The minoxidil-loaded ChiNCs (MXD@ChiNCs) showed high encapsulation efficiency, stability, and a sustained release profile, with no cytotoxicity or impact on cell proliferation in skin-related cell lines. In animal models, MXD@ChiNCs significantly improved hair regrowth compared to other minoxidil formulations, indicating their potential as an effective topical treatment for alopecia.
