research Nanoporous Silica Entrapped Lipid-Drug Complexes for the Solubilization and Absorption Enhancement of Poorly Soluble Drugs
Nanoporous silica entrapped lipid-drug complexes significantly improve the solubility and absorption of drugs that don't dissolve well in water.
research Optimization of Lipid-Based Nanoformulation for Cutaneous Targeting: Niosomes as Potential Candidates
Niosomes are the most effective at delivering drugs to the skin with minimal absorption into the body.
research Solubility Preformulation Screening of Minoxidil in Different Natural Oils Using Experimental and Computational Approaches
Minoxidil dissolves best in shea butter, stearic acid, and rosemary oil, which may improve hair growth treatments.
research Solubility of Structurally Complicated Materials: Hair
Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.
research Solubility of Foreign Molecules in Stratum Corneum Brick and Mortar Structure
Solubility in skin changes with hydration, affecting chemical absorption.

5 / 159 resultscommunity Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol
The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
community How finasteride lowers brain's happiness steroid allopregnanolone and causes depression: systemic dihydroprogesterone crosses blood brain barrier, you don't even need finasteride and brain 5ar for that
Finasteride may lower allopregnanolone levels, potentially affecting mood, but many users report improved mental health due to reduced hair loss. Experiences with finasteride and dutasteride vary, with some experiencing side effects and others finding them beneficial for hair retention and overall happiness.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community First bottle of Morr-F arrived. Wish me luck, and an introduction.
A user discusses their experience with hair loss and treatments, including minoxidil, micro needling, rosemary oil, dietary supplements, and topical finasteride (Morr-F). They emphasize the impact of lifestyle on hair health and express hope for improvement with the new treatment.
