1. A method for regulating hair growth comprising the administration to a human of a composition comprising about 0.00001% to about 99.9% of a compound selected from the group consisting of:

  • a) lupane triterpenes having the structure;

    ##STR18## Where R1 is either

         1) connected to the ring system via a single bond, either α

    - or β

    -configuration, and is selected from the group consisting of;

    H, OH, R4, OR4, OCOR4, OCOOR4, OCONHR4, or OCON(R4)2 ;

    halogen where R4 is independently selected from the group consisting of a) cyclic, straight chain or branched chain, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups containing from 1-20 carbons, where the alkyl group, if substituted, is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of;

    i) halogens, ii) substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups comprising from 1 to 5 rings with or without heteroatoms, which heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, where the aryl group, if substituted, is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogens, alkyl groups, OH, OR4, OCOR4, OCOOR4, OCONHR4, or OCON(R4)2 iii) OH, iv) OR4, v) OCOR4, vi) OCOOR4, vii) OCONHR4, or viii) OCON(R4)2 and b) substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups comprising from 1 to 5 rings with or without heteroatoms, which heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, where the aryl group, if substituted, is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogens, alkyl groups, OH, OR4, OCOR4, OCOOR4, OCONHR4, or OCON(R4)2), or2) connected to the ring system via a double bond and is selected from the group consisting of a) oxygen, b) sulfur and c) R4,Where R2 is selected from the group consisting of;

    CH3, CH2 OH, CH2 OR4, CHO, CO2 H, CO2 R4, COHNR4, CON(R4)2, CH2 OCOR4 where R4 is independently selected from the group consisting of a) cyclic, straight chain or branched chain, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups containing from 1-20 carbons, where the alkyl group, if substituted, is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of;

    i) halogens, ii) substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups comprising from 1 to 5 rings with or without heteroatoms, which heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, where the aryl group, if substituted, is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogens, alkyl groups, OH, OR4, OCOR4, OCOOR4, OCONHR4, or OCON(R4)2 iii) OH, iv) OR4, v) OCOR4, vi) OCOOR4, vii) OCONHR4, or viii) OCON(R4)2;

    and b) substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups comprising from 1 to 5 rings with or without heteroatoms, which heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, where the aryl group, if substituted, is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogens, alkyl groups, OH, OR4, OCOR4, OCOOR4, OCONHR4, or OCON(4)2;

    And where R3 is selected from the group consisting of C(CH3)═

    CH2, CH(CH3)2, COCH3, CH(OH)CH3, CH2 CH3, C(R5)(CH3)CH2 R5, or C(CH3)2 R5, CH(CH3)CH2 R5, where R5 is selected from the group consisting of OH and a halogen.
