Stimulation of the hair growth by α2-blocker SST-VED

The hair follicle was picked from the beard of a C57BL/6J mouse, and the influence on hair follicle extension was measured by hair follicle organ culture under the addition of SST-VED1. Compared with control (solvent of SST-VED1), the hair growth by SST-VED1 addition was observed in dose-dependent manner. When SST-VED1 was compared with SST-VED2, SST-VED1 promotes the hair growth significantly. Moreover, it turned out that growth is large in order of RiUP, SST-VED1, and Glechoma hederacea extract. In this research, it was shown clearly that new molecular chemicals of SST-VED 1 and 2 have a hair growth action. Furthermore, by using it together with the extract obtained from Glechoma hederacea of product-of-nature origin, it turned out that a hair growth action is amplified.
