Administration of pyridinedicarboxylic acid compounds for stimulating or inducing the growth of human keratinous fibers and/or arresting their loss

摘要

The invention relates to the use in a composition for caring for human hair or eyelashes of an effective amount of a pyridinedicarboxylic acid derivative of general formula (I) or of one of its salts,;
in which R1 and R2 represent, independently of one another, OH, OR′, —NH2, —NHR′ or —NR′R″, and R′ and R″ represent, independently of one another, a saturated or unsaturated and linear or branched C1-C18 alkyl radical or an aryl radical, this alkyl or aryl radical optionally being substituted by at least one OH, alkoxy, acyloxy, amino or alkylamino group, or R′ and R″ together represent a heterocycle, the composition being intended to induce and/or stimulate the growth of human keratinous fibers, such as the hair and eyelashes, and/or slow down their loss; the invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment intended to stimulate the growth of human keratinous fibers, such as the hair and eyelashes, and/or slow down their loss.

主权项

1. A method for inducing/stimulating the growth of human keratinous fibers and/or retarding the loss and/or increasing the density thereof, comprising administering to an individual subject in need of such treatment, a thus effective amount of at least one pyridinedicarboxylic acid compound having the following structural formula (I), or salt thereof: in which R1 and R2 are each OR′, wherein each R′ is independently selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and acetyloxymethyl.
