| PubChem ID | 4201 |
| Scientific Background | Minoxidil is a vasodilator that opens potassium channels, leading to hyperpolarization of cell membranes. In neurodegenerative research, its nitric oxide moiety and ion channel modulation properties have been explored for neurovascular regulation. Minoxidil may influence cerebral blood flow and neuroprotection through vascular mechanisms, although its primary applications remain in cardiovascular and dermatological domains. |
