Abstract

The use of compounds of the formula I 1 in which R stands for CN, OH, CH3 or H2O, for building up and improving the resistance of the skin is claimed. The compounds are suitable in particular for preventive treatment in cases of predisposition to chronic skin diseases, for the prevention and treatment of allergic skin reactions, for the treatment of acute skin injuries, for example burns and wounds, as well as in aging of the skin, and in the treatment of degenerate cells, such as in cancers, benign and/or malignant tumours.
