Minoxidil (1-00 µM; 24 hours; RAMEC cells) treatment shows very low cytotoxicities in the whole area of concentrations examined (from 1 µM to 100 µM)[1].

Minoxidil (0.01 mmoL/kg body weight; intraperitoneal injection; for 3.5 hours; fisher 344 rats) treatment inhibits carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema with an inhibitory potency (49%)[1].
