Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an agent composition for prevention of hair loss and promotion of hair growth, and more particularly, to an agent composition for preventing hair loss while promoting hair growth, which includes a nature-derived compound, as an effective ingredient, to shorten a term during which hair progresses from a telogen phase to an anagen phase among a hair growth period, thereby exhibiting remarkable effects of accelerating the growth of new hair.


BACKGROUND ART

In general, a human has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs. Each strand of hair has an independent period of time to live, and grows then falls out while passing through anagen, catagen and telogen phases. The above time period repeats over around 3 to 6 years and an average of 50 to 100 hairs per day typically fall out. In general, ‘hair loss’ means that a hair fraction in the anagen phase of the above time period is decreased whereas hair is increased during the catagen or telogen phases, therefore, the number of hair strands to fall out is abnormally increased.


Causes of hair loss including, for example, excess secretion of male hormone (i.e., androgen), scalp seborrheic, stress, obesity, depressed function of scalp due to peroxides, bacteria, or the like, have been investigated and/or discussed in the art. However, definite reasons for the occurrence of hair loss are still not disclosed. In recent years, there is a trend of an increase in a population troubled about or suffering from hair loss caused by a change in dietary habits, increase in stress due to social environments, etc., and the age of the population influenced by this issue has become lower. Also, a population experiencing female pattern hair loss is on the increase.


Current studies have given attention to dihydrotestosterone which is a reductive substance of a male hormone, that is, androgen, as one of major causes for hair loss. The male hormone testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone by an action of 5α-reductase, and it has been reported that 5α-reductase shows increased activity in hair follicles of a patient suffering from hair loss, hence causing hair loss.


In order to eliminate such causes of hair loss as described above, Merck Co. has developed a medicine that inhibits the activity of 5α-reductase to control generation of dihydrotestosterone, called ‘finasteride,’ and put the same on the market, however, several side effects of this medicine have been reported.


Accordingly, the present inventors have conducted a number of comparative experiments with a variety of compounds in order to investigate whether the compounds exhibit effects of inhibiting the activity of 5α-reductase to promote the generation of dihydrotestosterone, with the intention to develop a novel composition with effects of preventing hair loss while promoting hair growth.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail according to the following examples. However, these examples are proposed for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed to restrict the scope of the present invention together with appended claims thereof.


EXAMPLE
Examples 1 to 49

After placing compound A (a starting substance, 10 mmol) commercially available in the market in a two-neck round flask at room temperature, 50 ml of dichloromethane was introduced and the mixture was chilled using an ice bath. As a catalyst, 1 mmol of dimethyl aminopyridine and 1.1 mmol of triethylamine were further introduced, then, compound B (acyl halide, an inducing substance, 1.2 mmol) was slowly added dropwise thereto. After completion of the dropping, the mixture was allowed to undergo a reaction at room temperature. 100 ml of diluted hydrochloric acid solution was introduced into the reaction product and extraction was conducted using 200 ml of dichloromethane. After drying a dichloromethane layer under reduced pressure, separation and purification were conducted by means of silica-gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:50), thereby obtaining a final product. The obtained product was identified by means of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (hereinafter, ‘FAB-MS’) and results thereof are shown in Table 1 below.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE
Experimental Example 1
Assessment of 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Efficacy

After seeding 1 ml of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) by 5×105/ml into each well of a 24-well plate, then incubating the same for 24 hours, each of the reaction products prepared according to procedures described in Examples 1 to 72 was added in amounts of 50 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml and 0 μg/ml, respectively, to individual wells. After 1 hour, the wells were subjected to stimulation using 50 nM testosterone (DMSO dissolved). The supernatant was discarded 24 hours after culturing, to thus obtain DPc pellets. A content of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (DB52021, Hamburg, Germany) was determined by means of enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay. DPCs cell pellets were seeded in an amount of 100 μL into each of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) ELISA microtiter strips coated with rabbit anti-DHT antibody, 25 μL of DHT antiserum was seeded in every well, and subjected to a reaction at 2 to 8° C. for 15 to 20 hours, followed by washing the same three times. Thereafter, 100 μL of DHT-HRP enzyme conjugate was seeded in every well and reacted on a shaker at room temperature for 30 minutes, followed by washing the same three times. Furthermore, 100 μL of substrate was seeded in every well and reacted on a shaker at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Then, the product was treated using 100 μL stop solution, and subjected to measurement of absorbance at 450 nm to express an amount of produced DHT by the absorbance (three times repeated). An amount of produced DHT relative to a control was calculated in terms of an inhibitory rate (%), and results thereof are shown in Table 3 below.

From the results shown in Table 3 above, it can be seen that the compounds represented by Formula 1 have an outstanding 5a-reductase inhibitory rate.


Experimental Example 2
Experimentation for Assessment of Anagen Phase Induction and Promotion

Experimentation for effects of inducing and promoting an anagen phase (that is, hair growth period) was performed with 7 weeks-old mice (C57BL/6, female) widely used in assessment of activity for anagen phase induction. First, using an electric shaver, hair on the dorsal part of a mouse was removed. Each mouse was weighed and all mice were divided into groups, each group having five (5) mice, in order to uniformly disperse body weights of the mice. Hair cut regions were coated with an excipient, control and test medicine, respectively. In this regard, the excipient was 95% ethanol, the control was 2% minoxidil, and the test medicine used herein was the compound in Example 8 diluted with 95% ethanol to have a final concentration of 0.5%. Using a brush, each of the above test samples was sufficiently applied to the dorsal part of each mouse once per day.


Overall treatment effects were determined and assessed at four levels as to whether hair growth and restoration are remarkably improved (++), improved (+), slightly improved (±) or not changed (−), respectively, 20 days after experimentation, as compared to before dosing the test sample.
