Diphencyprone (DCP) is a contact sensitizing agent.1,2,3 Pretreatment with DCP reduces symptom severity in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin basic protein (1-10) (MBP1-10).1 It enhances IL-10 production and antigen-specific IgG2a antibody responses and reduces anaphylaxis and asthma induced by ovalbumin in mice when administered during ovalbumin immunization at a concentration of 1% v/v.2 Topical administration of DCP increases intrafollicular CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, reduces upper dermal inflammation, and stimulates hair growth in the C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areta.3 Formulations containing DCP have been used in the treatment of alopecia areta.
