Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
A method for stimulating hair growth comprising the step of: applying in a topical pharmaceutical carrier to skin a transition metal compound having SOD activity, said compound selected from copper salicylate, copper aspirinate, indomethacin-copper and a complex of an amino acid or peptide and a transition metal, wherein the peptide consists of amino acids selected from glycine, histidine, lysine, arginine, cysteine or methionine.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 63 words
A method for stimulating hair growth comprising the step of: applying in a topical pharmaceutical carrier to skin a transition metal compound having SOD activity, said compound selected from copper salicylate, copper aspirinate, indomethacin-copper and a complex of an amino acid or peptide and a transition metal, wherein the peptide consists of amino acids selected from glycine, histidine, lysine, arginine, cysteine or methionine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the amino acid of the amino acid-metal complex is selected from glycine, histidine, lysine, arginine, cysteine and methionine, and the metal is selected from copper, iron, zinc and manganese.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the peptide is selected from histidyl lysine, glycyl histidine, glycyl hystidyl lysine and lysyl histidyl lysine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the transition metal compound is copper salicylate.
Claim 6

The method of claim 1, wherein the transition metal compound is indomethacin-copper.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 50 words
a composition suitable for treating hair loss, comprising: a transition metal compound having SOD activity selected from copper salicylate, copper aspirinate, indomethacin-copper, and a complex of a basic amino acid and a transition metal; and a topical pharmaceutical carrier selected from oil and water emulsions, urea, propanol, butanol and glycols.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 50 words
a composition suitable for treating hair loss, comprising: a transition metal compound having SOD activity selected from copper salicylate, copper aspirinate, indomethacin-copper, and a complex of a basic amino acid and a transition metal; and a topical pharmaceutical carrier selected from oil and water emulsions, urea, propanol, butanol and glycols.
