A composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin or hair for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth comprises:
(i) a first chemical inhibitor chosen from proteoglycanase inhibitors, glycosaminoglycanase inhibitors, glycosaminoglycan chain cellular uptake inhibitors or mixtures thereof; and
(ii) a cosmetically acceptable vehicle for the chemical inhibitor; provided that when the first chemical inhibitor is a weak inhibitor, such that a 1mM aqueous solution of the inhibitor reduces proteoglycanase activity, glycosaminoglycanase activity or cellular uptake of glycosaminoglycan chains, by from 5 to 50%, in accordance with at least one of the assay tests as herein described, then there is also present in the composition a second chemical inhibitor and/or an activity enhancer. When minoxidil is the sole chemical inhibitor, then the activity enhancer is a penetration enhancer chosen from a limited number of materials, including certain esters and cationic polymers.
The total amount of chemical inhibitor present in the composition is sufficient to increase hair growth in the rat, when said composition is applied topically thereto, by at least 10% more than that obtainable using a control composition from which the said inhibitors have been omitted.
一种适用于哺乳动物皮肤或毛发局部使用的组合物,可诱导、保持或增加毛发生长,该组合物包括
(i) 第一种化学抑制剂,选自蛋白聚糖酶抑制剂、糖胺聚糖酶抑制剂、糖胺聚糖链细胞摄取抑制剂或其混合物;以及
(ii) 化学抑制剂的美容上可接受的载体;条件是当第一种化学抑制剂是一种弱抑制剂,如根据本文所述的至少一种测定试验,该抑制剂的 1mM 水溶液可降低蛋白多糖酶活性、糖胺聚糖酶活性或糖胺聚糖链的细胞摄取量 5%至 50%,则组合物中还含有第二种化学抑制剂和/或活性增强剂。当米诺地尔是唯一的化学抑制剂时,活性增强剂是从有限的几种材料中选择的渗透增强剂,包括某些酯类和阳离子聚合物。
当对大鼠局部施用所述组合物时,组合物中的化学抑制剂总量足以使大鼠的毛发生长量比使用省略了所述抑制剂的对照组合物时至少增加 10%。
