Minoxidil molecule, hair growth drug
Minoxidil molecule. Computer model of a molecule of the hair growth drug minoxidil, also known by the brandname Rogaine (C9.H15.N5.O). Atoms (balls) are colour-coded: carbon (yellow), nitrogen (dark blue), oxygen (red) and hydrogen (grey). Minoxidil was originally used to treat high blood pressure, but was also found to increase hair growth. This led to its development as a liquid that is applied to the scalp to increase hair growth where bald patches have formed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of the Minoxidil molecule, a revolutionary hair growth drug. The intricate structure is beautifully illustrated with atoms color-coded to represent different elements: carbon in yellow, nitrogen in dark blue, oxygen in red, and hydrogen in grey. Originally developed as a treatment for high blood pressure, Minoxidil's remarkable ability to stimulate hair growth was discovered by chance. This breakthrough finding led to its transformation into a liquid form that can be applied directly to the scalp where bald patches have formed. The image highlights the significance of this pharmaceutical marvel in combating baldness and alopecia. Its molecular composition plays an essential role in promoting hair regrowth and revitalization. With its precise arrangement of atoms meticulously depicted through computer artwork, we gain insight into the biochemical intricacies behind this medical innovation. The photograph serves as a reminder of how science and medicine intersect to address common concerns such as hair loss. It represents years of research and development within the field of pharmacology while emphasizing the potential impact on individuals struggling with baldness or thinning hair. Science Photo Library brings forth this visually stunning representation without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation. Instead, it focuses on celebrating scientific achievements that hold promise for those seeking effective solutions for their hair growth needs.
