    TLDR The analysis shows where minoxidil's atoms are likely to react and describes its electronic transitions and behavior with temperature changes.
    The document details a quantum chemical analysis of minoxidil, focusing on its molecular structure and vibrational spectra. The researchers used Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy, along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, to compare experimental and theoretical vibrational wavenumbers, finding good agreement. They also examined electronic properties through UV-Visible spectra and calculated molecular orbital compositions, global and local reactivity descriptors, and thermodynamic properties. The study concluded that minoxidil's O15 atom is likely to undergo nucleophilic attacks, while H19 and H20 atoms are susceptible to electrophilic attacks, and provided insights into the compound's electronic transitions, chemical bonding, and behavior at different temperatures. The document does not involve a clinical study or the number of people, as it is a chemical analysis.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
