In order to provide a new agent for actively controlling hair growth in subjects, the present disclosure is directed to an active agent for use in hair growth regulation, particularly for use in the treatment of hair growth (stimulation or inhibition), wherein the active agent activates, enhances, inactivates, blocks or dampens the cellular response of the transient receptor potential ion channel TRPM5 or interferes with the expression of the ion channel. Furthermore, the present disclosure is directed to compositions for use as a cosmetic or medicament in the treatment of hair growth; the composition comprising at least one of the aforementioned active agents and at least one auxiliary agent. In addition, a non-therapeutic method of hair growth regulation is disclosed, wherein an effective amount of at least one of the aforementioned active agents is administered to a subject.

The compositions and methods described herein are topically applied to the skin with negligible or no skin irritation and can direct or prevent transport through the skin. The compositions contain neat ionic liquids, optionally in combination with a drug to be delivered. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions increase transdermal transport of the drug to be delivered. In some embodiments, the compositions disrupt bacterial biofilms. This is particularly beneficial in the treatment of antibiotic resistant skin infections. In other embodiments, the compositions direct delivery within the skin. In still other embodiments, the compositions prevent transfer of substances through the stratum corneum. The disclosed compositions and methods can be tuned and modified such that they can be used to treat or prevent a variety of different diseases and disorders.
