Latest Patents
Anders B Vahlquist holds a patent for "Uses for thyroid hormone compounds or thyroid hormone-like compounds." This invention relates to the application of topically applied thyroid hormone compounds and thyroid hormone-like compounds, which serve as receptor binding ligands. These compounds can act as either agonists or antagonists to improve the appearance of the skin and underlying subcutaneous fat. They are effective in treating various skin conditions, including stria, cellulite, roughened skin, actinic skin damage, intrinsically aged skin, photodamaged skin, lichen planus, ichthyosis, acne, psoriasis, wrinkled skin, corticosteroid atrophy, and collagen deficient skin. Additionally, they can diminish the size and improve the appearance of skin scarring from surgical or naturally occurring wounds, while also reducing the incidence of hyperkeratotic scarring. The thyroid agonists and antagonists may promote differentiation and amelioration of dedifferentiated skin in premalignant lesions. Notably, these compounds can be combined with Vitamin D analogs, glucocorticoids, and retinoids to enhance their effects. Importantly, the side effects associated with oral administration of thyroid hormones are avoided when these hormones are applied topically.
