Abstract: The invention relates to the use, as active principle, in a physiologically acceptable medium, in a composition, of an effective amount of at least one compound of the indolecarboxylic family, this compound or these compositions being intended to treat disorders associated with overactivity of 5&agr;-reductase. These compounds or the compositions containing them are more particularly intended to treat androgen-dependent disorders such as, for example, seborrhoea and/or acne and/or hirsutism and/or androgenic alopecia. The invention also relates to novel compounds of the indolecarboxylic family and to compositions-containing them.

Abstract: Hair growth-/hair loss-affecting cosmetic/therapeutic compositions contain an effective amount of at least one 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide having the structural formula (I): 1

Abstract: Indolecarboxylic acid compounds and derivatives thereof are useful for treating seboarhea and the dermatitides associated therewith, especially acne and/or blackheads and/or comedones.

Abstract: Indolecarboxylic acid compounds and derivatives thereof, notably 4,6-dimethoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid and derivatives thereof, are especially useful for inducing/stimulating mammalian hair growth and/or preventing/retarding mammalian hair loss.
