Resistance not limited to P. acnes. Researchers reviewed studies on the use of antibiotics in acne vulgaris over nearly a 50-year period and found that both correct and incorrect use of antibiotics for acne can promote antimicrobial resistance. Among factors contributing to this resistance are antibiotic monotherapy, long-term administration of antibiotics, and the administration of antibiotics...

Graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics with the aid of benzoyl peroxide was carried out. The effect of polymerization parameters on the graft yield was studied. Percent grafting was enhanced significantly by increasing benzoyl peroxide (BP) concentrations up to 3.84 g/lit and then decreased upon further increase in initiator concentration. Pr...

The widely used topical agents anthralin and benzoyl peroxide are potent skin irritants. In the mouse skin model these compounds produce hyperplasia nd are effective skin tumor promoters. In the present studies, we have examined the effects of anthralin and benzoyl peroxide on epidermal proteins and compared them with changes produced by the potent phorbol ester tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoy...

A new resorufin-based probe is developed, which exhibits a rapid and sensitive color and a fluorescence off-on response to benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in aqueous media containing 10% ethanol via deboronation. The probe has been applied to the simple detection of BPO in real samples such as wheat flour and antimicrobial agent.

      Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is a first-line topical treatment in acne vulgaris, and it is superior to antibiotics, because the bacteria do not develop resistance to it. Skin irritation is a common side effect, and it has been shown that controlled release of BPO from a delivery system to the skin could reduce the side effects while reducing percutaneous absorption. Therefore, the purpose of t...

A sequential injection analysis (SIA) system with spectrophotometric detection was developed as an alternative method for estimating the concentration of lipid hydroperoxides, which are the primary products of the lipid peroxidation process. The lipid hydroperoxide quantification was based on a ferric thiocyanate method. Benzoyl peroxide was used to produce a standard calibration curve for the ...
