July 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” The study investigated the hair growth-stimulating effects of Cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506, both potent immunosuppressants. CsA was known to cause excessive hair growth (hypertrichosis) in various conditions, including alopecia areata and male-pattern alopecia, through both topical and oral administration. FK506, while not causing hypertrichosis orally, significantly stimulated hair growth when applied topically on animals, indicating a mechanism separate from its immunosuppressive effects. FK506 was found to directly stimulate hair follicles in vitro, suggesting its potential as a hair growth stimulant, though its effectiveness in humans was not yet clear.
