This study reports that two novel chromatographic methods demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity for determining aminexil, niacinamide, and pyridoxine HCl in a laboratory-prepared mixture and hair tonic preparation.

New method quickly and accurately measures dexpanthenol in hair products.

This study identified a new minoxidil analogue called triaminodil in an illegal hair-growth supplement, but no data on its chemical, toxicological, or pharmacological properties are available yet.

This study found petroleum ether to be more effective than methanol at extracting β-sitosterol from Eclipta alba, with higher concentrations detected using HPTLC and HPLC methods. The extracted materials contained metals within safety limits.

This study developed and validated ultraviolet spectrophotometric and reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic methods for simultaneously estimating Tamsulosin and Finasteride in tablet form, showing statistical validation and effectiveness in pharmaceutical analysis.

This study developed a stable and reliable HPLC-ESI-MS method for determining finasteride levels in human plasma, suitable for pharmacokinetic studies.

In this study, both 5% minoxidil foam and 5% minoxidil liquid solution effectively improved hair diameter and density in male patients with androgenetic alopecia over 12 weeks, with the foam formulation showing a slight advantage in patient satisfaction and hair density gain.

In this study, researchers developed an electrochemical method using gold nanostructures on a glassy carbon electrode to detect minoxidil levels in hair lotions, and found it effectively quantified minoxidil in commercial products, revealing discrepancies in their labeled versus actual concentrations.

This abstract mentions that while synthetic drugs like minoxidil and finasteride for androgenic alopecia have side effects, the characteristics of popular natural alternatives, such as soybean, remain largely unreported, despite consumer preference for these products.

Researchers reviewed 13 clinical trials on non-prescription monotherapies like procyanidin and cetirizine for androgenetic alopecia, finding potential improvements in hair density and diameter, but emphasized the need for more robust trials to confirm efficacy and safety.

This study evaluates the compatibility of six active pharmaceutical ingredients, including finasteride and spironolactone, with TrichoFoam™, a foam vehicle used in personalized treatments for alopecia, though it does not report specific results.

In this study, researchers assessed the physical-chemical and microbiological stability of various pharmaceutical ingredients in the vehicle TrichoSolTM, finding differing beyond-use dates for the compounds, such as 180 days for cetirizine hydrochloride, but only 90 days for progesterone at higher concentrations.

This study found that a new compounded topical solution for alopecia was clinically tolerable and did not cause irritation, while also showing potential to enhance hair growth through fibroblast proliferation and gene expression.

This study aimed to determine the phenolic compound composition in Equisetum arvense stem extracts using HPLC, as the plant is commonly used in cosmetics for skin and hair care, but results are not reported here.

This study found that Equisetum arvense, or horsetail, water extracts prepared with polyethylene glycol in an ultrasonic bath yielded the highest levels of phenolic compounds, such as hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids, indicating that this method improves the release of biologically active substances.

This abstract introduces TrichoFoam™, a new foaming vehicle for compounding pharmacies, designed to be a gentle, non-irritating option for alopecia treatment, acknowledging that current topical treatments are limited and oral products may cause adverse effects.

This study investigated the phytochemical composition and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Zaleya pentandra extracts, finding high total polyphenol and flavonoid content and significant antibacterial effects, particularly in acetone extract, which may be suitable for developing antibacterial agents.

This study examined the stability of two 5α-reductase inhibitors in Tectona grandis extracts, finding that they are more stable in acidic environments and degrade rapidly under heat and light unless protected, suggesting the need for careful storage when developing anti-hair loss medications.

In this study, Hibiscus rosa-sinesis flower extract was found to contain 0.33% quercetin according to HPTLC analysis and 0.37% according to HPLC. Heavy metals measured were within acceptable limits, supporting the standardization of the plant material for efficacy and safety testing.

In this study, researchers found that subjects with clinical alopecia had significantly higher levels of squalene in their hair bulbs compared to controls, suggesting squalene as a potential metabolic and pathogenic marker for certain alopecia conditions.

This study optimized conditions for quantifying minoxidil using high-performance liquid chromatography, establishing specific parameters for mobile phase, flow rate, column temperature, and retention time.

This study identified two potent 5α-reductase inhibitors from Tectona grandis leaves, and suggests that ethanol is a preferable solvent for extracting these compounds, which are potential ingredients for hair loss treatments.

This study compared the effects of palm kernel oil and virgin coconut oil to pure coconut oil on hair growth in rabbits, noting measurements over a 30-day period.

This study determined that caffeine content in anticellulite gels was between 0.7% and 1.7%, and about 1.0% in hair-care products.

In this study, imaging techniques showed that nanostructured lipid carrier formulations distributed ascorbic acid more effectively across skin layers compared to conventional cream formulations, suggesting a better method for skin permeation.

This study found that finasteride is stable under various stress conditions except for basic hydrolysis at extreme pH levels and identified compatible and incompatible excipients in pharmaceutical formulations, suggesting formulation changes for increased safety.

This study suggests that using nanostructured lipid carriers may improve the targeting of 17-α-estradiol in treating alopecia by improving skin penetration and stability.

This study developed a rapid method using advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry to detect hair-growth enhancing compounds, discovering synthetic drugs in about 21% of tested supplements.

This study found that a combination of ethanol extract from watermelon white skin and liquid from kepok banana tree trunk resulted in greater hair growth length in rats compared to Minoxidil.

This study found that sensitive scalp is characterized by increased pH levels, redness, altered sebum composition, and a disrupted microbiome, suggesting these features could inform treatment approaches.
