research Structural Requirements of Minoxidil Analogs for Enhancing Lysyl Hydroxylase Inhibitory Activity
Minoxidil analogs can be improved for hair growth inhibition by modifying specific parts of their structure.
research Synthetic Studies Toward the Development of Novel Minoxidil Analogs and Conjugates with Polyamines
New minoxidil compounds with better water solubility were made, but their full effects and safety need more research.
research Isolation and Structural Identification of a Novel Minoxidil Analogue in an Illegal Dietary Supplement: Triaminodil
A new minoxidil-like substance, triaminodil, was found in an illegal hair growth supplement.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity I'm experiencing significant growth with unknown substance(s). I want to know which one it is.
A user from Iran reports hair growth in bald spots after using a domestic tonic containing Anageline, Trichogen, Aminexil, Caffeine, Saw Palmetto, and B vitamins, alongside Finasteride, but without Minoxidil. They prefer the tonic over Minoxidil as it doesn't make their hair greasy or cause hair fall.
community Serum containing minoxidil and bimatoprost analogs
A user discusses using a serum called Dallixa, containing minoxidil-like and bimatoprost-like compounds, for hair loss and greying. The user's dermatologist advised against finasteride and suggested the serum might improve hair pigmentation.
community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
community Thought I would just make this simply post to explain finasteride and minoxidil with an analogy.
Finasteride stops hair loss by blocking DHT, while Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Using both can help regrow hair, but results vary by individual.
community Do you know any alternative to Minoxidil ?
The user experienced side effects from oral minoxidil and is seeking alternatives like Stemoxydine, Aminexil, and Redensyl + Procapil. They have been using finasteride for four years and are considering other treatments due to concerns about side effects.
