Trolox-peptide conjugate and use thereof
The present invention relates to a Trolox-peptide conjugate having a structure in which Trolox and a peptide are chemically bonded. The Trolox-peptide conjugate not only very effectively inhibits the activity of 5α-reductase, but also inhibits the death of papilla cells and keratinocytes, promotes the growth thereof, and has antioxidative effects, and thus can remarkably promote hair formation while avoiding or preventing hair loss.
