It has been suggested that oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but literature reports somewhat contradictory results. To further investigate issue, we evaluated high number peripheral parameters, and some related issues such as erythrocyte membrane functional features lipid composition. Twenty-one autistic children (Au) aged 5 to 12 years, were gender age-matched with 20 typically developing (TD). Erythrocyte thiobarbituric acid reactive...
We here report the results of our investigations carried out on verbascoside, a phenylpropanoid glycoside known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and photoprotective actions. Verbascoside was obtained from Buddleia davidii meristematic cells, in turn using sustainable biotechnology platform which employs an vitro plant cell culture technology. first investigated to assess behaviour active ingredient solution or finished preparations, view potential topical use, especially skin...
Moringa oleifera has gained increasing popularity as a food supplement but not in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic area. The aim of this study was preparation, characterization, evaluation extracts from leaves herbal sun care phytocomplex. Three different leaves, Senegal, have been prepared chemically characterized phenolic fraction by HPLC-DAD Folin–Ciocalteu test. To explore photoprotective properties, an extensive UV filtering, antioxidant (DPPH, FRAP, ORAC, PCL), anti-hyperproliferative...
Diesel particulate matter is one of the most dangerous environmental stressors affecting human health. Many plant-derived compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been proposed to protect skin from pollution damage. Curcumin (CUR) has a plethora pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant. However, it low bioavailability due its difficult absorption rapid metabolism elimination. CUR encapsulation in nanotechnological systems...
Aims: The goal of this work was to investigate the influence DMSO, garlic extract and p‐coumaric acid on bacterial quorum sensing (QS). Methods Results: decreases in QS responses reporter strains Escherichia coli pSB401 pSB536, Agrobacterium tumefaciens NTL4, Chromobacterium violaceum 5999 wt 494, Pseudomonas putida IsoF/gfp environmental chlororaphis were quantified relation growth inhibitory effects. DMSO showed no significant QS‐specific effects tested even at close‐to‐lethal...
Dry eye syndrome is a common disease which can damage the corneal epithelium. It treated with drops to stimulate tear production and hydrate surface. The most prescribed artificial remedies contain hyaluronic acid (HA), enhances epithelial wound healing, improving tissue health. To best of our knowledge, only few recent studies have investigated cross-linked HA (HA-CL) in for human applications. This work consists an vitro evaluation re-epithelialization ability two different preparations...
A polar head and an apolar tail chemically characterize surfactants, they show different properties are categorized by factors such as charge molecular weight. They work reducing the surface tension between oil water phases to facilitate formation of one homogeneous mixture. In this respect, represent unavoidable ingredients, their main application is in production detergents, if not most important categories cosmetics. Their role very important, it should be remembered that was precisely...

Wild Amazonian basil Ocimum micranthum Willd. (O. campechianum Mill.) Labiatae essential oil was analyzed by GC and GC-MS: 31 compounds were identified. The main components eugenol (46.55 ± 5.11%), β-caryophyllene (11.94 1.31%), β-elemene (9.06 0.99%), while a small amount of linalool (1.49 0.16%) detected. tested for its in vitro food-related biological activities compared with common basilicum Thymus vulgaris commercial oils. Radical scavenging activity evaluated employing...
An efficient method for preparing ß-hydroxy ketones from 2-isoxazolines by N-O bond cleavage promoted molybdenum hexacarbonyl is described.
The phenolic compound phloridzin (phloretin 2′-O-glucoside, variously named phlorizin, phlorrhizin, phlorhizin or phlorizoside) is a prominent member of the chemical class dihydrochalcones, which are phenylpropanoids. Phloridzin specifically found in apple and juice known for its biological properties. In particular we were attracted by potential dermo-cosmetic applications. Here report synthesis, stability studies antimicrobial activity F2, new semi-synthetic derivative phloridzin....
