The compounds of formula (I) are potassium channel blockers useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as congestive heart failure and hypertension and as a diuretic.

Abstract: This invention relates to the method for treating the form of alopecia commonly known as "male pattern baldness" which comprises regular topical application to the affected areas of the human scalp of a composition containing as at least one of its active ingredients of Formula I. It also encompasses the aforesaid compound itself for use as a therapeutic agent to arrest and reverse male pattern alopecia.
