The invention relates to compositions for treating dandruff comprising compounds that are non-polymeric and/or have a weight average molecular weight of less than about 1000. These compounds, when used at a concentration of about 0.001% or less, inhibit the activity of anylipase by at least 50%. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds for inhibiting lipase activity.

Lipase inhibiting composition

Disclosed is a novel polypeptide having an amino acid sequence substantially as shown in SEQ ID NO:2, or substantially similar to the amino acid sequence encoded by the DNA insert contained in ATCC Deposit No. PTA-4086. Also disclosed is an isolated polynucleotide substantially as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, or substantially similar to a nucleotide sequence contained in a plasmid having all of the identifying characteristics of ATCC Deposit No PTA-4086, encoding the polypeptide. Further disclosed is an expression system comprising the above polynucleotide.

Fungal lipase

The present invention relates to compositions containg i) from about 0.0001% to about 99.9% of certain compounds selected from the group consisting of lupane triterpenes, derivatives of lupane triterpenes, derivatives of oleanane triterpenes, derivatives of ursane triterpenes, and salts and mixtures thereof, and ii) a vehicle.

Compositions which contain triterpenes for regulating hair growth

A method for regulating the growth and loss of hair via the use of compositions containing a compound selected from the group consisting of lupane triterpenes, derivatives of lupane triterpenes, derivatives of oleanane triterpenes, derivatives of ursane triterpenes, and salts and mixtures thereof.
