Squaric acid dibutyl ester is a cyclic ketone and diether that is used as a topical sensitizing agent for the treatment of alopecia areata. The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but is believed to redirect the inflammatory response by invoking allergic contact dermatitis. In clinical trials Squaric acid dibutyl ester had a total response rate (defined as moderate to good regrowth or at least 30% improvement) from 29% to 87%. The most common adverse effects associated with Squaric acid dibutyl ester include eczema, auto-eczematization, blistering, and swelling of regional lymph nodes.
