About Minoxidil 5mg
Minoxidil is a potassium channel (KATP) opener with selective vascular activity. Supplied as lyophilized powder, Minoxidil serves as a fundamental research compound for investigating ion channel pharmacology, vascular tissue responses, and cellular signaling mechanisms downstream of KATP channel activation in diverse tissue models.
Chemical/Compound Information:
- Chemical Name: 6-(Piperidin-1-yl)pyrimidine-2,4-diamine
- Molecular Formula: C9H15N5O
- Molecular Weight: 209.24 g/mol
- Compound Class: KATP Channel Opener / Vasodilator
Minoxidil activates KATP channels by opening the inward rectifier K+ conductance, leading to hyperpolarization and smooth muscle relaxation. This mechanism permits systematic investigation of potassium channel physiology, ion channel regulation, and hyperpolarization-dependent cellular responses in vascular and other tissues.
Research Applications:
- KATP channel selectivity and activation kinetics in isolated patch-clamp recordings
- Vascular smooth muscle hyperpolarization and vasodilation dose-response characterization
- Ion channel modulation by cellular signaling cascades (PKA, PKC pathways)
- Comparative KATP opener efficacy screening in vascular tissue preparations
- Cellular energy sensing and AMPK-KATP crosstalk investigation
Storage and Handling:
- Store lyophilized powder at 2-8°C in sealed vial with desiccant
- Protect from light exposure; use light-protected storage containers
- Reconstitute in appropriate assay buffer or sterile water immediately before use
- Minimize freeze-thaw cycles; aliquot into single-use portions
- Prepare working solutions fresh for optimal channel activation
Product Specifications:
- Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
- Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized powder
- Form: Lyophilized powder
- Quantity: 5mg per vial
