minoxidil and Glioblastoma

minoxidil has been researched along with Glioblastoma in 2 studies

Minoxidil: A potent direct-acting peripheral vasodilator (VASODILATOR AGENTS) that reduces peripheral resistance and produces a fall in BLOOD PRESSURE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p371)
minoxidil : A pyrimidine N-oxide that is pyrimidine-2,4-diamine 3-oxide substituted by a piperidin-1-yl group at position 6.

Glioblastoma: A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In this study, we investigated whether, intravenously administered, ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP)) activator (minoxidil sulfate; MS) increases temozolomide and Herceptin delivery to brain tumors to induce anti-tumor activity and increase survival in nude mice with Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells."3.75Activation of KATP channels increases anticancer drug delivery to brain tumors and survival. ( Khaitan, D; Meister, EA; Ningaraj, NS; Sankpal, UT; Vats, T, 2009)
"The expression of potassium channels in brain tumors is variable, which may be associated with different tumor permeability to therapeutic agents among patients."2.73Different effects of KCa and KATP agonists on brain tumor permeability between syngeneic and allogeneic rat models. ( Bayan, JA; Black, KL; Espinoza, AJ; Hu, J; Irvin, D; Ko, MK; Konda, BM; Ong, JM; Sacapano, MR; Shu, Y; Wang, X; Yin, D, 2008)
