This study found that a combination of betulin and cytostatic Namitecan had a statistically significant synergistic effect on solid Ehrlich adenocarcinoma tumors in NMRI mice, and suggests a promising method for administering betulin in in vivo experiments despite its water insolubility.

In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.

This Phase 1 study reported that topical application of BPM31543 was safe and well-tolerated in patients receiving taxane-based chemotherapy, with some experiencing less than 50% hair loss, suggesting potential efficacy in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, although no maximum tolerated dose was identified.

The authors concluded that capecitabine and high-dose toremifene may be an effective treatment option for patients unable to undergo anthracycline or taxane therapies, based on one woman's cancer management.

This paper reviews the use of tacrolimus for various conditions, noting its effectiveness in treating certain skin disorders but highlighting that some findings remain anecdotal due to limited case numbers.

This study reported that encapsulating minoxidil in transferosomes and transethosomes can enhance skin permeability and drug retention compared to its conventional formulation, potentially increasing efficacy in androgenic alopecia treatment while reducing side effects, especially when transethosomes contain oleic acid.

This study found that a combination of the Tri-energy factor 5.5% booster and photodynamic therapy significantly improved hair density and reduced single follicular units in patients with androgenetic alopecia, compared to minoxidil or booster alone, supporting the inclusion of photodynamic therapy in comprehensive treatment.

This study found that methotrexate, when administered according to current recommendations, effectively manages rheumatoid arthritis for many patients in Poland, although regular monitoring is necessary due to possible adverse effects.

This review reports that thallium poisoning causes severe neurological damage, with early gastrointestinal symptoms and later neurological dysfunction, and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and Prussian blue as an effective antidote.

In this study, researchers found that the methanolic seed extract of Tectona grandis, known for its use in traditional medicine, demonstrated strong analgesic properties in Swiss albino mice, being effective at doses of 200–250 mg/kg and safe up to 1000 mg/kg.

In this study, researchers found that a propylene glycol-free and alcohol-reduced topical foam containing minoxidil and finasteride remained chemically, physically, and microbially stable for 180 days when stored properly at room temperature in light-resistant containers.

This abstract describes monilethrix, an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with symptoms like hair fragility and keratosis pilaris, and does not report new experimental results.

This study suggests that most pediatric minoxidil exposures reported to Texas poison centers were unintentional, typically non-serious, and often manageable at home, despite concerns about serious adverse effects.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.

This study found that topical Dithranol 0.5% is more effective than topical Tacrolimus 0.1% for hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata, with 40% of Dithranol-treated patients showing over 80% hair regrowth compared to 23.33% for Tacrolimus-treated patients.

This study observed that low-dose oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil 5% solution both improved hair density in women with female-pattern hair loss, but oral minoxidil may offer advantages in reducing hair shedding.

This study developed and optimized a molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensor, demonstrating its ability to detect minoxidil with high sensitivity and selectivity at concentrations as low as 0.3 nM, and successfully applied it for minoxidil measurement in various real sample matrices.

This article discusses metformin's potential effects on clinical, metabolic, and hormonal parameters in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and its role in reducing the risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that minoxidil is compatible with excipients such as Beta-cyclodextrin and cellulose, while it is incompatible with Eudragit S 100 and mannitol, indicating potential formulation challenges in pharmaceutical applications.

This study found that a 400-mg dose of oral testosterone with dutasteride increases serum testosterone levels for 8–10 hours in hypogonadal men, with the nanomilled formulation unaffected by food, suggesting a practical twice-daily therapy option.

This study found that a bleach bath treatment with 0.005% HOCI reduced the expression of certain serine proteases in cultured keratinocytes and lowered skin pH in atopic dermatitis patients, potentially improving symptoms by modulating the NF-kB pathway.

This study found that methylprednisolone can block IgG-induced keratinocyte detachment in an animal model of pemphigus vulgaris, potentially by increasing the synthesis and modifying adhesion molecules.

This study designed fast-dissolving Minoxidil tablets to improve patient compliance and found that formulations containing 6% croscarmellose sodium were optimal, showing rapid in-vitro dispersion and effective drug release without drug interaction.

This correspondence comments on the unknown prevalence of permanent alopecia following high-dose docetaxel chemotherapy and highlights the need for further understanding and prevention strategies.

This study found that finasteride, which alters plant brassinosteroid metabolism, significantly reduced sporulation of the downy mildew pathogen in grapevines, unlike azole fungicide treatments.

This study found that a multimodal microemulsion containing minoxidil, diclofenac, and tea tree oil was significantly more effective and stable than minoxidil alone in treating androgenic alopecia over a 32-week period.

This study found that while systemic absorption of DHT from liposomes was negligible, the topical biological effect was weaker compared to DHT dissolved in acetone on the female hamster flank organ model.

This study proposed a simple, rapid permanganometric method for determining minoxidil concentrations in pharmaceutical samples, offering comparable accuracy to chromatographic methods with recovery rates of 94.5 to 95.2%.

This study reports that two oral hormonal agents, dimethandrolone undecanoate and 11β-methylnortestosterone dodecylcarbonate, may effectively suppress hormones to contraceptive levels in men with mild side effects, though longer-term trials are required to confirm their safety and efficacy.
