Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 477,347, filed December 27, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) undergo multiple successive periods of quiescence (telogen phase) separated by short periods of proliferation that correlate with the initiation of the hair cycle (telogen-anagen transition). It is well known that proliferation or activation of HFSCs is a prerequisite for progression of the hair cycle. Despite advances in treatment options, baldness and alopecia remain conditions that cannot be successfully treated in many individuals. Some existing treatments are inconvenient for the user, and others require surgical intervention or other invasive procedures. Additional treatments are desirable.

[0012] Unless otherwise specified, any reference herein to a compound by structure, name, or any other means includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts (such as sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts), prodrugs (such as ester prodrugs), solid state alternatives (such as polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, etc.), deuterium-modified forms, Z and E olefin isomers, tautomers, or any other chemical species that may be rapidly converted to a compound described herein under the conditions in which the compound is used as described herein. In certain embodiments, the compound contains deuterium at greater than its natural abundance. In certain embodiments, one or more hydrogen atoms on a compound are replaced with deuterium such that the compound has a deuterium fraction of at least 50%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% at that location. E / Z isomers are specifically contemplated for any structure depicted herein.
[0013] Unless otherwise specified, when a compound or chemical structural feature (e.g., alkyl or aryl) is referred to as being "optionally substituted," this includes the feature having no substituents (i.e., unsubstituted) or the feature being "substituted," meaning that the feature has one or more substituents. The term "substituent" is intended to have the broadest meaning known to those skilled in the art and includes a moiety occupying a position normally occupied by one or more hydrogen atoms bonded to the parent compound or parent structural feature. In some embodiments, the substituent may be a common organic moiety known in the art, which may have a molecular weight (e.g., the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms of the substituent) of about 15 g / mol to about 50 g / mol, about 15 g / mol to about 100 g / mol, about 15 g / mol to about 150 g / mol, about 15 g / mol to about 200 g / mol, about 15 g / mol to about 300 g / mol, or about 15 g / mol to about 500 g / mol. In certain embodiments, a substituent group comprises or consists of 0-30, 0-20, 0-10, or 0-5 carbon atoms and 0-30, 0-20, 0-10, or 0-5 heteroatoms, where each heteroatom may independently be N, O, S, P, Si, F, Cl, Br, or I, provided that the substituent group contains one of C, N, O, S, P, Si, F, Cl, Br, or I.
