January 2025 in “Biomedical Engineering Letters” The study introduces a new polymeric formulation, MXD@CP, using citric acid dimethylsiloxane polymer for the transdermal delivery of Minoxidil (MXD), a common hair loss treatment. This formulation aims to mitigate the side effects associated with oral MXD by enabling topical application. The MXD@CP was shown to effectively load MXD up to 5%, a clinically relevant concentration, and demonstrated superior hair growth and hair follicle formation in comparison to MXD@PBS. The results from animal studies suggest that MXD@CP could be a promising next-generation treatment for hair loss.

January 2025 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics” The study developed a novel in situ thermosensitive hydrogel combining ionic liquid, cyclodextrin, and poloxamer for the co-delivery of minoxidil (MXD) and finasteride (FIN) to hair follicles, aiming to treat androgenic alopecia (AGA) synergistically. This hydrogel, termed M+F@ICPG, transitions from liquid to gel upon contact with the scalp, enhancing drug retention in the skin and reducing systemic toxicity. The formulation improves the solubility and targeted delivery of MXD and FIN, overcoming the stratum corneum barrier and providing synergistic effects by promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting 5α-reductase 2, and reducing inflammation. The efficacy of M+F@ICPG was demonstrated in a testosterone-induced AGA mouse model, suggesting it as a promising strategy for AGA treatment.
