Aqueous Dispersion of Unmodified Fullerene C60: Stimulation of Hair Growth and Study of a New Molecular Target for Interaction.

ABSTRACT: Hair loss (alopecia) is a common disorder caused by an interruption in the body's cycle of hair production. This pathology negatively affects the psychoemotional state of patients and significantly reduces their quality of life. The currently available medical treatments (including minoxidil therapy) are effective in arresting the progression of the disease; however, they allow only partial regrowth of hair at best. A significant clinical result occurs only with regular drug use. There is still great interest in finding new drugs for the treatment of alopecia. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of an aqueous dispersion of unmodified fullerene C60 (ADF) on hair growth. ADF, produced by a unique technology, is biocompatible and non-toxic. Nu/nu mice were subcutaneously injected (2
