- Ozonolytic transformations of 10-undecenoic acid in various solvents through the action of hydroxylamine and semicarbazide hydrochlorides
-
Ozonolytic transformations of 10-undecenoic acid, which is available from castor oil, were studied. Syntheses of several α,ω-bifunctional sebacic acid derivatives were developed.

- Cosmetic composition
-
A composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin or hair for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth comprises: (i) a first chemical inhibitor chosen from proteoglycanase inhibitors, glycosaminoglycanase inhibitors, glycosaminoglycan chain cellular uptake inhibitors or mixtures thereof; and (ii) a cosmetically acceptable vehicle for the chemical inhibitor; provided that when the first chemical inhibitor is a weak inhibitor, such that a 1 mM aqueous solution of the inhibitor reduces proteoglycanase activity, glycosaminoglycanase activity or cellular uptake of glycosaminoglycan chains, by from 5 to 50%, in accordance with at least one of the assay tests as herein described, then there is also present in the composition a second chemical inhibitor and/or an activity enhancer. When minoxidil is the sole chemical inhibitor, then the activity enhancer is a penetration enhancer chosen from a limited number of materials, including certain esters and cationic polymers. The total amount of chemical inhibitor present in the composition is sufficient to increase hair growth in the rat, when said composition is applied topically thereto, by at least 10% more than that obtainable using a control composition from which the said inhibitors have been omitted.
