USPTO Abstract
The present invention provides a method of inhibiting sebum production and treating sebaceous gland disorders comprising administering to a patient in need of said treatment an effective amount of a compound that inhibits both acyl-Coenzyme A:cholesteryl acyltransferase (ACAT), and acyl-Coenzyme A:fatty alcohol acyltransferase (AFAT), provided that the compound is not [(2,4,6-triisopropyl-phenyl)-acetyl]-sulfamic acid 2,6-diisopropylphenyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. The method of the invention is useful to treat sebaceous gland disorders caused or exacerbated by the overproduction of sebum, including oily skin, acne, seborrhea, perioral dermatitis, rosacea, and corticosteroid-induced acneiform lesions.
