This article discusses the potential mechanism by which 5α-reductase inhibitors might offer protection against SARS-CoV-2, emphasizing possible roles of dehydroepiandrosterone and its impact on nitric oxide bioavailability, but reports no new experimental results.

A new method was created to accurately measure minoxidil and aminexil in hair loss treatments.

This review discusses the antioxidant and photoprotective potential of Polypodium leucotomos for use as a natural sunscreen ingredient and reports no new experimental results; further studies are recommended to evaluate its effectiveness.

In this study, the researchers found that over half of the tested calcium food supplements had calcium levels exceeding the amounts declared by their manufacturers, indicating a need for better quality control.

This study evaluated the stability of multiple active ingredients in TrichoSol™ for use in alopecia treatments, finding varying stability durations at room temperature—up to 180 days for some ingredients—supporting its use as a compounding vehicle in personalized therapies.

This study assessed the therapeutic potential of Eclipta prostrata extracts in antibacterial and antioxidant applications, reporting that fractionated compounds showed enhanced efficacy and higher phenolic content compared to crude extracts, though some fractions also displayed high cytotoxicity, indicating a need for further evaluation.

This study reports that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, while griseofulvin relies on guest molecules for structural stability in drug-polymer inclusion complexes.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of drug-polymer inclusion complexes and found that carbamazepine can self-assemble into stable channel structures without guest polymers, unlike griseofulvin, which requires guest molecules for structural stability.

This study found that the polymorphic forms I, II, and III of finasteride can be prepared purely, with form III being identical to what was previously referred to as form X.

Finasteride's polymorphic form affects capsule quality and drug effect, requiring strict control.

In this study, the researchers reported that their proposed methods accurately determined the studied drug with good recovery rates despite the presence of oxidative degradation products.

This study found that compounded minoxidil solutions in a propylene glycol-free and alcohol-reduced foam remained stable for 180 days, meeting United States Pharmacopeia standards for strength, pH, and antimicrobial effectiveness.

This study found that polymeric nanoparticles retained more minoxidil and facilitated superior drug permeation compared to lipid nanoparticles, although premature drug release affected formulation performance.

This study estimated the starting dose range for a finasteride long-acting injectable formulation in humans, suggesting that 16.80 mg may be the optimal starting dose.

The researchers reported that they successfully developed and validated RP-HPLC and TLC methods for accurately measuring tamsulosin hydrochloride and finasteride in combination forms.

This study found that encapsulated Garcinia mangostana Linn extract in a cream base penetrated more deeply and homogeneously into porcine ear skin compared to other formulations.

This study found that the proposed LC-MS/MS method accurately quantified the drug content in split tablets of finasteride and terbinafine, revealing significant variability and suggesting that non-scored tablets should not be split.

Transfollicular drug delivery can improve medication absorption through hair follicles.

This study found that drying finasteride solvates at 85 °C for one day produced a metastable anhydrous form.

This study developed and validated an RP-HPLC-PDA method for accurately estimating Tamsulosin and Finasteride in bulk and tablet forms, achieving precise detection and linearity within specified concentration ranges.

This review discusses the advantages and properties of mucoadhesive buccal dosage forms and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the potential of spanlastics as flexible, biodegradable drug carriers.

This study explored the development and evaluation of a tablet-form herbal shampoo formulated with natural ingredients like Shikakai, Reetha, and Amla, which reportedly enhance hair shine, growth, and root strength without side effects, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional shampoos.

This study explored the creation and assessment of a tablet-form herbal shampoo made with natural ingredients such as Shikakai, Reetha, and Amla, reportedly improving hair shine, growth, and strength of roots without side effects, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional shampoos.

In this ex vivo and mouse model study, Tofacitinib-loaded nanoparticles demonstrated enhanced delivery of the drug into hair follicles and reduced inflammatory effects compared to conventional forms, indicating potential for safer, topical use in treating alopecia areata.

This study utilized a UHPLC-HRMS method to identify eight active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as ketoconazole and minoxidil, in 26 out of 100 analyzed cosmetic products.

This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.

This study evaluated the physicochemical characteristics, safety, and efficacy of six herbal and six synthetic shampoos and found that all products performed well in various tests, with no skin irritancy observed, suggesting that both types can be considered safe for use.

This study suggests that using particle-bound antiseptics may provide more effective and longer-lasting skin antisepsis compared to their non-particulate forms.

This study observed that proretinal nanoparticles delivered significantly higher concentrations of retinal to the stratum corneum and hair follicles compared to non-particulate forms, potentially improving topical retinoid therapy.

This study analyzes how commercial websites for Propecia depict male hair loss and promote medical treatment, suggesting they contribute to medicalizing a natural condition for profit.
