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 Minimum Structural Requirements for Minoxidil Inhibition of Lysyl Hydroxylase in Cultured Fibroblasts
Minoxidil needs specific structure to block lysyl hydroxylase; exploring alternatives may keep benefits without this effect.
research Retinoids: Compounds Important to Hair Growth
Retinoids might help hair grow and improve hair loss treatments.
research Activation of Cytoprotective Prostaglandin Synthase-1 by Minoxidil as a Possible Explanation for Its Hair Growth-Stimulating Effect

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 Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community New hack? Tretinoin enhances minoxidil response in androgenetic alopecia patients by upregulating follicular sulfotransferase enzymes
The conversation discusses how Tretinoin may improve the effectiveness of Minoxidil for treating hair loss by increasing the activity of certain enzymes in hair follicles. One user comments that this information is not new.
community Medications that cause extra hair growth
The post discusses the side effects of various drugs causing excess hair growth, questioning why only minoxidil is used in the hair loss industry. The conversation includes users sharing their experiences and concerns about potential side effects of these drugs, with some preferring baldness over potential health risks.
