Minoxidil sulfate_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Minoxidil sulfate, a potent and ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener, is the sulfated metabolite of minoxidil. Minoxidil sulfate is considered as a vasodilator to promote hair growth in vivo[1][3].
Target	IC50: K channel
Invitro	Minoxidil sulfate (1-100 μM; 2 hours) significantly reduces the permeability of bloode-brain tumor barrier (BTB) in a monolayer of RBMEC in a time-dependent manner, additionally,the effects of MS on transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) is Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) at 2 h with high concentration[2].Minoxidil sulfate (0-100 μM; 0-4 hours) increases the RhoA activation in brain tumor tissue by 1 h and the highest level appears at 2 h, it also significantly induces transient PKB phosphorylation at Ser-473, without affecting total PKB levels. Addiotionally, LY294002 partly prevents the phosphorylation of PKB induced by MS[2]. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Line:
