Glycolic acid is a useful and important α-hydroxy that has broad applications. Herein, the homogeneous ruthenium catalyzed reforming of aqueous ethylene glycol to generate glycolic as well pure hydrogen gas, without concomitant CO2 emission, reported. This approach provides clean sustainable direction hydrogen, based on inexpensive, readily available, renewable using 0.5 mol % catalyst. In-dept...

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness and the safety of different topical agents (glycolic acid, mandelic acid, and grape juice acid mixture) in skin exfoliation by objective instrumental methods. To evaluate the exfoliating effects of these substances, a new experimental in vivo protocol based on DHA (dihydroxyacetone)-induced skin pigmentation was used. Skin acceptabil...

In this study, we developed NIR-light responsive poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) by incorporating the ICG dye for local delivery of small-molecular drugs and therapeutics. Since NIR light...

This article explores a CO 2 utilization option by investigating sustainable and economic catalytic conversion of -based oxalic acid to glycolic monomer. Ideal catalyst design principles reaction conditions were established for this novel process.

objective: in dental treatments, use of carriers for targeted antibiotic delivery would be optimal to efficiently decrease microbial count. in this study, gentamicin was loaded into polylactic co-glycolic acid (plga) microspheres and its release pattern was evaluated for 20 days.   methods: in this experimental study, plga microspheres loaded with gentamycin were produced by the w/o/w method. t...

BACKGROUND Glycolic acid chemical peels have been widely accepted as a useful modality in many cutaneous conditions characterized by abnormalities of keratinization. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of glycolic peels in the main clinical forms of acne. METHODS Between January 1995 and December 1996, 80 women, aged 13-40 years, were visited for acne and selected for the...
