The present invention provides methods for reducing the production of nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase protein and mRNA, and cyclooxygenase-2 protein and mRNA in cells both in vivo and in vitro via the administration of extracts and compounds derived from the seeds of
Pycnanthus angolensis
Warb. (
P. Kombo
), commonly known as African nutmeg. These extracts and compounds, namely,
kombo
butter,
kombo
butter acid extract, sargaquinoic acid, sargachromenol, and sargahydroquinoic acid, are also useful in the treatment and prevention of a battery of adverse health conditions in human, animal, and avian subjects that are advanced by the production of nitric oxide or its metabolites and/or by the activity of cyclooxygenase-2. Methods for the isolation of
kombo
butter acid extracts are also provided.

We have discovered that p63 inhibition results in increased cellular proliferation. We have also performed a screen for agents capable of increasing cellular proliferation, (e.g., of stem cells such as skin-derived precursors (SKPs)). The invention therefore invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for increasing proliferation of cells, using compounds that decrease p63 expression or activity or using the compounds described herein. The invention also features methods of using these compounds for increasing hair growth, improving skin health, or promoting skin repair in a subject.
