Question on a Patent

[Old Baldy]

Bryan made mention of this patent in an old post a long time ago.

I finally read it and tried to get more info. on a certain document mentioned in the patent. I searched and searched but couldn't find a reprint of that document.

Please read this paragraphs from the patent: (I separated the paragraph into two paragraphs in order to make the reading easier.)

Examples of benefit agents suitable for treating hair loss include, but are not limited to potassium channel openers or peripheral vasodilators, such as minoxidil, diazoxide, and compounds such as N"-cyano-N-(tert-pentyl)-N'-3-pyridinyl-guanidine ("P-1075") as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.: 5,244,664, which is incorporated herein by reference; vitamins, such as vitamin E and vitamin C, and derivatives thereof such as vitamin E acetate and vitamin C palmitate; hormones, such as erythropoietin, prostaglandins, such as protaglandin E1 and protaglandin F2-alpha; fatty acids, such as oleic acid; diluretics such as spironolactone; heat shock proteins ("HSP"), such as HSP 27 and HSP 72; calcium channel blockers, such as verapamil HCL, nifedipine, and diltiazemamiloride; immunosuppresent drugs, such as cyclosporin and Fk-506; 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors such as finasteride; growth factors such as, EGF, IGFand FGF; transforming growth factor beta; tumor necrosis factor; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as benoxaprofen; retinoids such as tretinoin: cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-1alpha, and IL-1beta; cell adhesion molecules such as ICAM; glucorcorticoids such as betametasone.

Botanical extracts such as aloe, clove, ginseng, rehmannia, swertia, sweet orange, zanthoxylum, Serenoa repens (saw palmetto), Hypoxis rooperi, stinging nettle, pumpkin seeds, and rye pollen; other botanical extracts including sandlewood, red beet root, chrysanthemum, rosemary, burdock root and other hair growth promoter activators which are disclosed in DE 4330597 which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein; homeopathic agents such as Kalium Phosphoricum D2, Azadirachta indica D2, and Joborandi D1; genes for cytokines, growth factors, and male-pattern baldness; antifungals such as ketoconazole, and elubiol; antibiotics such as streptomycin; proteins inhibitors such as cycloheximide; acetazolamide; benoxaprofen; cortsone; diltiazem; hexachlorobenzene; hydantoin; nifedipine; penicillamine; phenothaiazines; pinacidil; psoralens, verapamil; zidovudine; alpha-glucosylated rutin having at least one of the following rutins: quercetin, isoquercitrin, hesperidin, naringin, and methylhesperidin, and flavonoids and transglycosidated derivatives thereof which are all disdosed in JP 7002677, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein; and mixtures thereof.

I can't find DE 4330597 that, I assume, lists alot of recommended regrowth agents. I already know of quite a few but it would be interesting to know what some heavyweight professionals think are good regrowth agents. Note: They list quite a few and many of them are herbals and extracts. (Interesting!)

Does anyone have access to this document, or a site where I can read it?

Here's a link to the patent. It's pretty interesting.
