Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of promoting hair growth comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of a pyrethroid.  
     
     
         2 . The method of    claim 1   , wherein the pyrethroid is a type I pyrethroid.  
     
     
         3 . The method of    claim 1   , wherein the pyrethroid is a type II pyrethroid.  
     
     
         4 . The method of    claim 1   , wherein the pyrethroid is cypermethrin, deltamethrin, or fenvalerate.  
     
     
         5 . The method of    claim 1   , wherein the pyrethroid is administered topically.  
     
     
         6 . The method of    claim 1   , wherein the pyrethroid is provided in a sterile composition.  
     
     
         7 . The method of    claim 6   , wherein the weight percent of the pyrethroid ranges from 0.005% to 5%.  
     
     
         8 . The method of    claim 7   , wherein the weight percent of the pyrethroid ranges from 0.01% to 2%.  
     
     
         9 . A method of promoting hair growth comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of a compound of the formula: 
                   in which each of R a , R b , R c , and R d , independently, is H, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, or C 1-4  alkyl;    R 2  is CN or C≡CH; and    R 3  is 
                 
   in which X is O, S, NH, or CH 2 ; and each of R′ and R″, independently, is H, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, or C 1-4  alkyl;    or a salt thereof.    
     
     
         10 . The method of    claim 9   , wherein said compound is administered topically.  
     
     
         11 . The method of    claim 9   , wherein said compound is provided in a sterile composition.  
     
     
         12 . The method of    claim 9   , wherein R 2  is CN.  
     
     
         13 . The method of    claim 12   , wherein R 1  is 
                   in which each of R a , R b  and R c , independently, is H, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, or C 1-4  alkyl.    
     
     
         14 . The method of    claim 13   , wherein each of R a  and R b , independently, is chloro or bromo; and R c  is H.  
     
     
         15 . The method of    claim 14   , wherein each of R a  and R b , independently, is chloro.  
     
     
         16 . The method of    claim 15   , wherein X is O; and each of R′ and R″, independently, is H.  
     
     
         17 . The method of    claim 14   , wherein each of R a  and R b , independently, is bromo.  
     
     
         18 . The method of    claim 17   , wherein X is O; and each of R′ and R″, independently, is H.  
     
     
         19 . The method of    claim 12   , wherein R 1  is 
                   in which R d  is H, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, or C 1-4  alkyl.    
     
     
         20 . The method of    claim 19   , wherein R d  is chloro.  
     
     
         21 . The method of    claim 20   , wherein X is O; and each of R′ and R″, independently, is H.  
     
     
         22 . The method of    claim 12   , wherein X is O.  
     
     
         23 . The method of    claim 22   , wherein each of R′ and R″, independently, is H.  
     
     
         24 . A composition for promoting hair growth comprising a pyrethroid and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.  
     
     
         25 . The composition of    claim 24   , wherein the pyrethroid is a type I pyrethroid.  
     
     
         26 . The method of    claim 24   , wherein the pyrethroid is a type II pyrethroid.  
     
     
         27 . The method of    claim 24   , wherein the pyrethroid is cypermethrin, deltamethrin, or fenvalerate.  
     
     
         28 . The composition of    claim 24   , said composition being sterile.  
     
     
         29 . The composition of    claim 24   , further comprising a fragrance.  
     
     
         30 . The composition of    claim 24   , wherein the weight percent of the pyrethroid ranges from 0.005% to 5%.  
     
     
         31 . The composition of    claim 30   , wherein the weight percent of the pyrethroid ranges from 0.01% to 2%.
