BACKGROUND Several chemical agents are currently used to perform superficial peels of the face to reduce facial hyperpigmentation and fine lines/wrinkles. Some of the most commonly used agents are alpha hydroxyl acids, such as glycolic acid (GA), or beta hydroxy acid, such as salicylic acid. AIM This study aims to compare the efficacy of GA to that of a novel derivative of salicylic acid, cap...

Aim of the study: We tested alternative active principles to most widely used resin tapping stimulant which contains sulphuric acid. also studied effect wounding in five-year-old Pinus pinaster seedlings with a microtapping method.Area The experiment was carried out at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Spain.Material and Methods: consisted six treatments: control (no no wounding), wound stimula...

Understanding intermolecular interactions between drugs and proteins is very important in drug delivery studies. Here, we studied different binding interactions between salicylic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Salicylic acid was labeled with a stable radical (spin label) in order to monitor its mobilized (free) or immobilized (bound...

Phytohormones exhibit a wide range of chemical structures, though they primarily originate from three key metabolic precursors: amino acids, isoprenoids, and lipids. Specific such as tryptophan, methionine, phenylalanine, arginine, contribute to the production various phytohormones, including auxins, melatonin, ethylene, salicylic acid, polyamines. Isoprenoids are foundation five phytohormone c...

Abstract Background The reliance on chemical inputs to support high yields is the Achilles’ heel of modern crop production. soil organic matter management as old agriculture itself. Recently, use soluble humic substances plant growth promoters has been brought attention due their effects nutrient uptake and water efficiency. Humic applied directly at low concentrations can trigger different mol...

Among gastrointestinal distributed isozymes encoded at the UGT1 locus, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A10 (UGT1A10) metabolizes a number of important chemicals. Similar to broad conversion of phytoestrogens (Basu, N. K., Ciotti, M., Hwang, M. S., Kole, L., Mitra, P. S., Cho, J. W., and Owens, I. S. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 1429-1441), UGT1A10 metabolized estrogens and their derivatives, whereas...
