March 1993 in “Biochemical Pharmacology” This study suggests that rat skin may synthesize minoxidil sulphate independently, implying the skin could contribute to minoxidil's hair growth promotion without help from the liver or other organs.
December 2024 in “Plant Science Today” This study investigated the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals from Phyla nodiflora, identifying 50 bioactive compounds through GC-MS analysis. Among them, n-hexadecanoic acid, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol showed promise in molecular docking studies as drug candidates for diabetes, alopecia, cancer, and anti-diuresis.
