Alopecia - Hair Loss

• "Medication for men plagued by hair loss has become a topic of interest in Japan since a drug company began marketing it at the end of last year." March 5th, 2006 – [1]

• "An increasing number of companies are apparently turning the Chinese fear of a bald spot into big bucks with some doing so well they are branching out into other countries." February 16, 2006 – [2]

• "There is something in the air, or should we say in the hair, these days. Scientific research into hair loss remedies has never been more active or more exciting." June 7, 2006 - [3]

Hair Basics

• Hair is a complex and delicate part of the body.
• Keeping it healthy and beautiful is a challenge.
• Hair grows everywhere on the body with the exception of the lips, eyelids, the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
• Hair is basically a form of skin.
• Hair is made up of a protein called keratin.
• Each shaft of hair is made of two or three inter-twined layers of keratin which grow from a follicle beneath the skin.
• Hair Structure - [4]
• Hair Cycle - [5]

What causes Hair loss?

• Decreased growth of the hair
• Increased shedding of the hair
• Breakage of hairs
• Conversion of thick terminal hairs to thin vellus hairs

Both men and women lose hair for similar reasons. Hair loss in men is often more dramatic, and follows a specific pattern of loss, one of which has been termed “Male Pattern Baldness" or "Androgenetic Alopecia".

Androgenetic Alopecia

• Gradual Onset.
• Transition from large, thick, pigmented terminal hairs to thinner, shorter, indeterminate hairs and finally to short, wispy, nonpigmented vellus hairs in the involved areas.
• Characterised by a receding hairline and/or hair loss on the top of the head.

Main Causes

• Genetic predisposition
• Hormonal effect of androgen
• Reduction of blood circulation around hair follicle
• Deactivation of hair matrix cells

Some facts from Japan

• Market size: ¥ 30 Billion
• Number of products: more than 100

(JICST-EPlus - Japanese Science & Technology)

The goal of this report is to:

• Summarize IP activity over the years
• Identify major players
• Conduct patent analysis

a) Composition b) Nature c) Action

And then

• Analyze patents pertaining to high sebum activity

• A broad search was conducted on hair loss patents.
• Patent information was sourced through SIP.
• A set of patents was selected for analysis.

Composition of treatment for causes are identified and categorized as follows:

• Anti-androgen
• Minoxidil
• Double action (Anti-androgen + Mindoxidil)
• Hair matrix cells activator
• Sebum production inhibitor

The graph indicates:

• Number of patents filed every 5 years (except for first 7 years).
• First solution proposed in 1973
• Filing trend indicates steep rise in activity recently.

• Active Assignees

Assignees currently active with more than 5 patents to their credit during 2000-2005.

• Warner with 9 patents,
• Bristol with 6 and
• Abbott with 5.

• Anti-androgens are used in hormone therapy.
• Anti-androgens are designed to affect the hormones made in the adrenal glands. They don't stop the hormones from being made, but they stop them from having an effect leading to hair loss.

What causes hair loss?

• Testosterone is reduced to its active metabolite, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.
• DHT attaches to androgen receptor sites at the hair follicle.
• DHT causes gradual miniaturization of the follicle, which eventually results in hair loss.

How do anti-androgens prevent hair loss?

• Anti-androgens compete with DHT to bind to the androgen receptor.
• Upon binding of anti-androgen in place of DHT, follicle miniaturization is lowered and hair loss prevented.

• Minoxidil is a "potassium channel opener" that leads to vasodilation.
• The drug is available in two forms. Oral minoxidil is used to treat high blood pressure and the topical solution form is used to treat hair loss and baldness.

What causes hair loss?

• A thick network of tiny veins and arteries lines the outer wall of the follicle. Blood pumps through the bulb and hair via this network.
• DHT accumulates in the hair follicles and roots, constricting the blood supply of oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots; which is also seen to possibly contribute towards hair loss.

How does Minoxidal prevent hair loss?

• Minoxidal is applied to the scalp topically, where it dilates blood vessels in the scalp and sustains the hair follicles for longer period of time.
• Scientists and researchers are not exactly sure of how Minoxidil leads to this effect.
• Minoxidil sulfate (MS) appears to be the active metabolite responsible for hair growth stimulation.

• Stem cells of the hair follicle are gathered in the basal layer of the outer root sheath bulge.
• It is from these cells that matrix cells are formed.
• Growth and differentiation of the matrix cells are under the influence of substances produced by cells of the dermal papilla.

- Target sites and Details

• Pyrazole (C3H4N2) refers both to the class of simple aromatic ring organic compounds of the heterocyclic series characterized by a 5-membered ring structure composed of three carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms in adjacent positions and to the unsubstituted parent compound. Being so composed and having pharmacological effects on humans, they are classified as alkaloids although they are not known to occur in nature.
• Pyrazoles are produced synthetically through the reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with hydrazine and subsequent dehydrogenation

• Pyrazoles are used for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiarrhythmic, tranquilizing, muscle relaxing, psychoanaleptic, anticonvulsant, monoamineoxidase inhibiting, antidiabetic and antibacterial activities.
• Structurally related compounds are pyrazoline and pyrazolidine.

Yes, new Combinations can be made with natural products based on IP study

• Walnut extract containing inhibitor (as anti-androgen) and Flavnones (for vasodilation).
• Sophora Flavnones (for vasodilation) in combination with Saw Palmetto berry (as anti-androgen).

Note: The above combinations are based on limited study and are only possible examples

Technology trends

• Use of saw palmetto berry for treating alopecia was first patented in 1996.
• Since then, 144 patents (including family patents) have been filed till 2006.
• Most patents use saw palmetto berry in combination with other products.

New opportunities
