Received: 19 October 2010; in revised form: 3 November 2010 / Accepted: 4 November 2010 / Published: 8 November 2010 Abstract: Among the wide diversity of naturally occurring phenolic acids, at least 30 hydroxy- and polyhydroxybenzoic acids have been reported in the last 10 years to have biological activities. The chemical structures, natural occurrence throughout the plant, algal, bacterial, fungal and animal kingdoms, and recently described bioactivities of these phenolic and polyphenolic acids are reviewed to illustrate their wide distribution, biological and ecological importance, and potential as new leads for the development of pharmaceutical and agricultural products to improve human health and nutrition. Keywords: polyphenols; phenolic acids; hydroxybenzoic acids; natural occurrence; bioactivities 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds exist in most plant tissues as secondary metabolites, i.e. they are not essential for growth, development or reproduction but may play roles as antioxidants and in interactions between the plant and its biological environment. Phenolics are also important components of the human diet due to their potential antioxidant activity [1], their capacity to diminish oxidative stress- induced tissue damage resulted from chronic diseases [2], and their potentially important properties such as anticancer activities [3-5].

  • Parabens Preservatives for Focused Protection
    PARABENS Preservatives For Focused Protection Parabens are the most commonly used preservatives in personal care products. Parabens display a low irritation potential, have low toxicity levels, and are active against a wide spectrum of fungi and bacteria at low concentrations. They are stable and effective over a wide pH range, can withstand temperatures up to 100°C, and are biodegradable. Also, they are highly compatible with other compounds. When combining two or more Parabens, their antimicrobial performance is enhanced due to a synergistic effect. While this is not a complete listing of Paraben features, it is clear why they are such an effective preservative and so commonly used.

When considering the solubility of Parabens, we recommend dissolving short-chained Parabens (such as Methylparaben) Appearance in the aqueous phase and longer-chained Parabens in the oil phase. If all the White, dry powder Parabens must be introduced to the water phase, pre-heating of the water is recommended. In the event that heating is undesirable, we recommend using Solubility Paraben sodium salts.

It may be used either alone or in combination with other paraben esters or with other antimicrobial agents. In cosmetics it is one of the most frequently used preservatives. The parabens are effective over a wide pH range and have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, although they are most effective against yeasts and molds; see Section 10. Owing to the poor solubility of the parabens, paraben salts, particularly the sodium salt, are frequently used. However, this may cause the pH of poorly buffered formulations to become more alkaline. See Methylparaben for further information. 8 Description Ethylparaben occurs as a white, odorless or almost odorless, active against yeasts and molds than against bacteria.

Received: 20 July 2017; Accepted: 14 September 2017; Published: 19 September 2017 Abstract: Parabens are effective preservatives widely used in cosmetic products and processed food, with high human exposure. Recent evidence suggests that parabens exert estrogenic effects. This work investigated the potential interference of parabens with the estrogen-activating enzyme 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) 1 and the estrogen-inactivating 17β-HSD2. A ligand-based 17β-HSD2 pharmacophore model was applied to screen a cosmetic chemicals database, followed by in vitro testing of selected paraben compounds for inhibition of 17β-HSD1 and 17β-HSD2 activities. All tested parabens and paraben-like compounds, except their common metabolite p-hydroxybenzoic acid, inhibited 17β-HSD2.

The phenolic group in 2 cannot be benzamidomethylated with 1 in aqueous media. Keywords: benzamidomethyl; paraben; 4-hydroxybenzoic acid; preservative Parabens such as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, isopropylparaben, butylparaben and isobutylparaben are chemical compounds derived from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (2) [1]. For almost one century they have been successfully used as antimicrobial preservatives in foods and beverages, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics [2]. In addition, parabens have been reported to have anticonvulsive, vasodilating, analgesic, and anesthetic effects in animals [3,4]. Considering toxicity, many results so far are inconclusive. Once entering the human body, parabens do not accumulate, but are rapidly absorbed, metabolized and excreted. Numerous acute toxicity studies as well as subchronic and chronic oral studies confirm their low toxicity, non-sensitivity and non-irritability [1,5,6]. Estrogen agonist properties of parabens have been documented with a wide variety of assay systems in vitro and in vivo [7,8].

Department of Chemistry, The growing interest in bioactive compounds is related to the possibility of ul.

Bioactive substances can be obtained from natural sources [email protected] such as fruits, vegetables, cereals and medicinal herbs. They have strong anti- oxidant properties. Phenolic acids are synthesized in plant cells under the influ- ence of oxidative stress. This stress causes the destruction of the skin cells in which the oxidation of the components takes place, i.e. DNA, lipid membranes and structural proteins. As a result of these processes, the skin becomes dehy- drated, there is a loss of elasticity, sagging, appearance of wrinkles and furrows, discoloration and vascular spider veins. A beneficial feature of phenolic acids is limiting the formation of free radicals and protecting the cell against their harmful effects. In connection with the above, cosmetic preparations and treat- Key words: ments with phenolic acids counteract photoageing of the skin, and also show depigmanting properties, controlling tyrosinase activity.
