Abstract: Composition for slowing down hair loss and inducing and stimulating its growth, comprising a compound of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 denote H; R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 denote H or an alkyl; R.sub.5 denotes H, an alkyl, an alkenyl, a cycloalkyl, an aryl, an arylalkyl, a hydroxyalkyl or an aminoalkyl; X denotes H, halogen, alkyl, nitro, benzoyloxy or --NHR.sub.6 where R.sub.6 denotes H, acyl or alkyl; Z denotes sulfur or oxygen, with the proviso that Z denotes sulfur when X denotes H or R.sub.5 denotes aryl; Y denotes oxygen or OSO.sub.3 ; as well as its physiologically acceptable salts.

Abstract: Pyrimidine 3-oxide derivatives and their use for the treatment of hair loss. The compositions contain in a physiologically acceptable medium at least one compound corresponding to the formula (I): ##STR1## in which: R.sub.1 denotes a methyl or NHR.sub.4 group in which R.sub.4 denotes a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group or hydrogen;R.sub.2 denotes hydrogen or a group NHR.sub.4 in which R.sub.4 has the same meaning as above; R.sub.2 may also denote methyl when R.sub.1 denotes methyl; when R.sub.1 denotes NH.sub.2, R.sub.2 cannot be hydrogen;R.sub.3 may denote a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group which may optionally carry;a group OR.sub.5 in which R.sub.5 denotes a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group,a benzene nucleus which is optionally substituted by one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups;R.sub.3 may also denote a halogen atom or a nitro or amino group;and the physiologically acceptable acid addition salts.
