This review summarizes the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of Teak (Tectona grandis) but presents no new research findings, emphasizing its use in traditional medicine and therapeutic potentials.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

In this study, topical application of Tectona grandis seed extracts on albino mice significantly accelerated hair growth initiation time and increased the percentage of hair follicles in the anagenic phase compared to the standard minoxidil treatment.

This review highlights the promising potential of microemulsions and nanoemulsions in (trans)dermal drug delivery, noting a gap in understanding their distinct mechanisms and composition-related effects on skin permeability, while emphasizing the limited clarity on mesostructures and cosolvent impacts.

This review highlights that nanoemulsions, especially those with droplet sizes under 200 nm, show promise in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics by improving drug stability, bioavailability, and reducing side effects, with potential applications in CNS diseases, cancer treatments, and skincare products.

The study highlights Teak's (Tectona grandis) diverse applications beyond high-quality timber, emphasizing its bioactive compounds' pharmacological potential in cancer treatment and other uses across traditional medicine, cosmetics, and biodiesel production.

In this study, researchers found that the methanolic seed extract of Tectona grandis, known for its use in traditional medicine, demonstrated strong analgesic properties in Swiss albino mice, being effective at doses of 200–250 mg/kg and safe up to 1000 mg/kg.

This compilation on contact and occupational dermatology in the Asia-Pacific region discusses various allergens and irritants without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that a novel effervescent formulation significantly increased minoxidil sulphate accumulation in hair follicles and skin compared to a standard minoxidil solution.

This study found that tannic acid accelerated wound healing in rats by modulating inflammatory cytokines, increasing growth factors, and activating the Erk 1/2 pathway.

This study found that finasteride maintained chemical and physical stability in various excipient mixtures, which may guide the development of stable topical delivery systems.

This study developed finasteride-containing granules using a method that improved follicular targeting for androgenic alopecia and reported potential for easy industrial production.

This research highlights the common and varied skin-related symptoms associated with chronic kidney disease, emphasizing that early recognition and multi-pronged management involving nephrology and dermatology can improve patient outcomes.

This integrative literature review investigated clinical trials on using medicinal plants, herbal products, and dietary supplements for treating alopecia, noting a need for further studies due to limited chemical-pharmaceutical analyses of the plant species involved, which include Allium sativum and Rosmarinus officinalis.

This study presents a new automated method for measuring total phenolic compounds in Ziziphus Jujuba fruit extract, showing high precision and potential applications in health and environmental sciences.

This case study reported that a 34-year-old woman with classic lichen planopilaris achieved disease remission after two months of hydroxychloroquine treatment following ineffective corticosteroid therapy.

This study provides one of the first descriptions of the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of lichen planopilaris in Chilean adults, reporting that treatment usually reduced or halted disease progression.

No treatment showed clear superiority for lichen planopilaris.

This retrospective review found that while intralesional corticosteroids provided symptomatic improvement for lichen planopilaris, hydroxychloroquine with topical corticosteroids led to higher remission rates but did not result in visible hair regrowth.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

This study suggests that using a non-medicated, hypo-allergenic scalp clarifying shampoo may improve hair volume and reduce shedding in women with lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss.

Pioglitazone may help treat lichen planopilaris, but more research is needed.

This case report describes a 16-year-old girl who developed Plica Polonica, a rare hair matting disorder, after using a homeopathic antidandruff shampoo, highlighting a potential link between shampoo use and the condition.

This article discusses the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil and hydroxychloroquine for treating lichen planopilaris and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, pioglitazone treatment in patients with lichen planopilaris showed limited success, with significant improvement seen in only a minority of cases.

Albendazole can cause hair loss, and piroxicam can cause fixed drug eruption.

This study found that six sessions of a modified phenol peel effectively reduced hyperpigmentation in patients with Lichen Planus Pigmentosus, with 76% of treated individuals experiencing at least a 25% improvement, and no serious side effects reported.

In this case study, an 80-year-old woman developed lichen planus pigmentosus inversus after receiving multiple intra-articular injections of a homeopathic preparation, suggesting a possible link, though causality remains speculative.

This meta-analysis found that a combination of clobetasol, hydroxychloroquine, and N-acetylcysteine may be the most effective treatment approach for lichen planopilaris compared to other therapies.

This study found that both an anti-dandruff shampoo containing piroctone olamine and climbazole and its combination with a tonic reduced dandruff and inflammation, with the combination showing superior results.
