JUPITER, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 23, 2022 / Jupiter Wellness (NASDAQ:JUPW) and Taisho Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd (TYO:4581) today announced that Taisho Pharmaceutical has entered into a license agreement for Jupiter Wellness's minoxidil booster for the Japanese market.
Minoxidil is the only US FDA-approved topical drug for the treatment of common hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Although there are racial and geographical differences, minoxidil is clinically effective in 30-40% of patients. Applied Biology scientists discovered that minoxidil efficacy is dependent on the minoxidil sulfotransferase enzyme (also called SULT1A1) found in hair. After the breakthrough discovery, Applied Biology scientists developed a novel adjuvant minoxidil treatment, the Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) Booster, that demonstrated in clinical trials to increase minoxidil efficacy (Dhurat R, Daruwalla S, Pai S, Kovacevic M, McCoy J, Shapiro J, Sinclair R, Vano-Galvan S, Goren A). The Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) Booster significantly improves response to topical minoxidil for hair regrowth (J Cosmet Dermatol. 2022 Jan;21(1):343-346. doi: 10.1111/jocd.14299. Epub 2021 Jun 25. PMID: 34133836).
In a bid to help hair loss patients in Japan, Taisho Pharmaceutical, the largest minoxidil manufacturer, and a leader in hair therapies in Japan is now planning to support hair loss patients with this breakthrough adjuvant therapy to topical minoxidil.
