Minoxidil API Powder – BP/USP/IP Grade (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient)Product Name: Minoxidil API PowderSynonyms: Minoxidil; 2,4‑Diamino‑6‑piperidinopyrimidine 3‑oxideCAS Number: 38304‑91‑5 Molecular Formula: C₉H₁₅N₅O Molecular Weight: 209.25 g/mol Grade: BP / USP / IP compliant API (pharmaceutical grade) Physical Form: White to off‑white crystalline powder Purity/Assay: Typically ≥97–99% (HPLC, pharmacopeial standard).
Description:Minoxidil API Powder is a high‑purity pharmaceutical active ingredient used primarily in the manufacture of hair growth treatments and dermatological products. It is supplied as a fine crystalline powder that conforms to international pharmacopoeial standards (USP/EP/IP), ensuring consistency and regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical formulation. Originally developed as an antihypertensive vasodilator, Minoxidil’s most common contemporary use is as a topical treatment for hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in both men and women. It works by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood circulation at the scalp, promoting hair regrowth and extending the growth (anagen) phase of hair follicles.
Key Features:Pharmaceutical‑Grade API: Designed to meet USP, EP, and IP quality standards for purity and consistency. High Purity: Typically ≥97–99% assay by HPLC, with controlled impurity and drying loss levels. White/Off‑White Powder: Easy to handle and integrate into pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Versatile Use: Suitable for topical formulations like solutions, foams, gels, sprays, and other hair care products. Regulatory Documentation: Often supplied with COA, MSDS, and other compliance documents on request.
Applications:Hair Regrowth Products: Core API for topical hair growth solutions, foams, and serums used to treat androgenetic alopecia. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: For formulation and compounding by manufacturers and pharmacies. Dermatological R&D: Used in research and development of advanced hair care and scalp health products. Combination Formulations: Can be combined with other actives (e.g., finasteride, azelaic acid) in customized topical therapies.
Physical & Chemical Properties:Appearance: White to off‑white crystalline powder. Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol, propylene glycol, and some organic solvents. Melting Point: Approx. 248–268 °C (depending on grade and polymorph). Heavy Metals & Impurities: Controlled to pharmacopeial limits (e.g., heavy metals ≤10–20 ppm; total impurities ≤1.5%).
Storage & Handling:Store Minoxidil API in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain quality, and handle with appropriate protective equipment in a well‑ventilated area.
