Minoxidil is a vasodilator

Three metabolic pathways are known: - Glucuronidation (about 40% of the metabolism of the drug) - Sulfate conjugation (20-40%) - N-hydroxylation and rearrangement, then GSH conjugation (15%): the hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme metabolizes the drug, forming a metabolite known as NAPQI (N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine) that is irreversibly conjugated with sulphydryl group of glutathione
