Abstract
Pharmacological action of 101-B hair regeneration extract (101-B) on skin and hair was
studied in experimental animals. The results were as follows: (1) In normal rats, guinea
pigs and rabbits the weight of regrown hairs in shaved area in 101-B group was
significantly heavier than that in alcohol group. (2) Hairloss induced by oral
administration of thallium carbonate 2 mg/kg every other day for 10 times was obviously
prevented by topical treatment of 101-B. (3) Itching threshold to histamine or papain in
guinea pig was elevated after using of 101-B topically. (4) The diameter of skin ulcer
caused by intradermal injection of adriamycin in rats was diminished in 101-B group. (5)
Observation in skin microcirculation in mice indicated that both normal skin
microcirculation and disturbed microcirculation induced by endotoxin were improved with
administration of 101-B. Above experimental results provided preliminary evidence for
clinical use of 101-B.
