This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.

This study found that ketorolac tert-butyl ester enhances skin permeation and follicular absorption compared to ketorolac, highlighting the role of lipophilicity and solubility in prodrug design.

According to this study, systemic retinoids, specifically oral isotretinoin and acitretin, were more effective than finasteride in stabilizing the frontal hairline in female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, achieving treatment goals in over 70% of cases.

This study developed an emulsion formulation with optimal properties for androgenetic alopecia treatment using saw palmetto and Japanese Sophora extracts, evaluated for stability and release of active ingredients.

This review systematically summarizes the chemical components and pharmacological research on Fructus Malvae, aiming to enhance its development and application in traditional Chinese medicine; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that while no synthesized compounds surpassed finasteride in 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, certain 4-azasteroid-2-oximes exhibited notable inhibition.

In this study, HA-P5, a nanoparticle derived from peptide and polysaccharide conjugation, effectively reduced acne lesions and sebum production by inhibiting specific receptors in cells, without triggering unfavorable reactions compared to a commercial inhibitor, highlighting HA-P5's potential as a novel acne treatment.

This review highlights the potential of ellagic acid for treating various skin conditions due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and depigmenting properties, but notes that novel formulations are needed to overcome its poor solubility and skin permeability to enhance clinical efficacy.

This study found that caffeic acid reduced UVB-induced damage and oxidative stress in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting its protective efficacy against such cellular damage.

This study found that diphlorethohydroxycarmalol significantly increased prostaglandin $E_2$ synthesis in HaCaT human keratinocytes by upregulating COX-1 and COX-2 expression, suggesting potential benefits from elevated $PGE_2$ production.

This abstract introduces TrichoFoam™, a new foaming vehicle for compounding pharmacies, designed to be a gentle, non-irritating option for alopecia treatment, acknowledging that current topical treatments are limited and oral products may cause adverse effects.

This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.

This article discusses the authors' concerns over the misinterpretation of studies linking smoking and frontal fibrosing alopecia, clarifying that neither study suggests smoking is protective against the condition.

This research observed that finasteride-loaded ethosomes showed improved permeation across rat skin and human cadaver scalp skin compared to unencapsulated finasteride, potentially enhancing delivery to hair follicle units.

This study reviewed various lipolytic agents for reducing submental fat and highlighted that while deoxycholic acid is FDA-approved, other compounds like phosphatidylcholine with deoxycholate lack cosmetic approval due to safety concerns. Understanding these agents' mechanisms and anatomy is crucial for safe fat reduction applications.

This study developed a chalcone-based molecule that significantly increased tyrosinase inhibition and solubility, showing potential as a safe and effective skin depigmenting and antiaging agent, with supportive epigenetic and antioxidant properties observed in vitro.

This study found that the ethanolic extract of Guazuma ulmifolia, or mutamba, showed only intermediate levels of phenolic compounds and low antioxidant activity in laboratory tests, suggesting limited potential in alleviating oxidative stress conditions like cancer or cardiovascular diseases.

The study found that cyproterone acetate could be released over 15 days using coconut oil mixed with certain wax inhibitors, though further safety studies are needed.

This study found that a solid shampoo containing 15% tin leaf extract (Ficus carica L.) and 1% vitamin E exhibited strong antioxidant activity, with a 53.43% inhibition of free radicals in hair and scalp, suggesting potential for reducing hair loss and premature aging.

This study found that the methanol leaf extract of Ficus platyphylla demonstrated a high margin of acute safety in Wistar rats, showing minimal risk under short-term exposure with no mortality at doses up to 5000 mg/kg and no significant changes in liver enzyme activities.

In this study, cetirizine hydrochloride was formulated into niosomal and cubosomal gels, showing potential for off-label use in treating androgenic alopecia due to effective skin permeation and acceptable safety profiles; cubosomal gels exhibited superior permeation compared to niosomal gels.

The study concluded that poly(propylene carbonate maleate) microspheres effectively encapsulated finasteride, achieving a biphasic release with prolonged drug release over 5-6 weeks in vitro.

This study found that topical application of glycyrrhizic acid led to significant hair removal in rats without causing inflammation, suggesting potential for treating hypertrichosis in humans.

This article explores the potential of formyl-peptide receptor 2 agonists as innovative anti-inflammatory drugs, highlighting their ability to mimic the body's natural inflammation response, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that a topical gel containing Minoxidil and Tofacitinib citrate showed promise for treating alopecia areata, with formulation F5 demonstrating effective drug release and stability in evaluations.

This study tested the acute toxicity of Ficus platyphylla methanol leaf extract in Wistar rats and found no mortality or significant liver enzyme changes at doses up to 5000 mg/kg, suggesting a high margin of acute safety and supporting its traditional use under short-term exposure.

This study found that novel androgen antagonists incorporating a carborane moiety showed anti-androgenic activity comparable to flutamide in a laboratory setting.

This study found that incorporating acrylic and methacrylic acid into poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) copolymers improves film mechanical properties but negatively affects their interaction with keratin for hair care applications.
