Chemotechnique Diagnostic’s 34 years of continuous growth and development has been the result of our belief in building strong and long term business relationships with our global network of distributors, combined with the ongoing support and contributions of our product-user base of physicians. Our commitment is to continue serving dermatology in future years... maintaining our leadership position. During the past year we have invested in new state of the art equipment in both the analytical and production sector and developed a closed loop system in the production of haptens. When looking at our website you will note that we have made it possible also for patients to freely access our database of extensive information regarding the haptens and being able to print information sheets. We have also changed the site to be adapted to mobile platforms such as mobile phones, iPads and similar devices. There will as always be additions and amendments in our range and these are found at the end of the Patch Test Products & Reference Manual.

  • Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Benzophenones-1 I -3, -4, -5, -9, and -11
    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF TOXICOLOGY Volume 2, Number 5, 1983 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., Publishers 2 Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Benzophenones-1 I -3, -4, -5, -9, and -11 Benzophenones-1 to -12 are substituted derivatives of Z&hydroxybenzophe- none. They are used as photostabilizers in cosmetics and have a photoprotec- tive effect on the skin. When ingested and absorbed, Benzophenones were primarily conjugated and excreted in the urine. Benzophenones were practically nontoxic when chronically administered orally to rats, and Benzophenones-3 and -4 were nontoxic when applied to the skin of rabbits at doses of > 5 g/kg. Subchronic oral ingestion of Benzophenone-3 at 1% was nontoxic to rats; however, another study showed Benzophenone-3 at 0.5% was toxic. Benzophenone-1 elicited toxic effects in rats at 0.6 g/kg. Benzophenones were nonirritating or mildly irritating to rabbit skin at concentrations of up to 100% and practically nonirritating to the eyes of rab- bits. A subchronic skin irritation test indicated that Benzophenone-4 was capable of causing minimal irritation in rabbits at a concentration of 10%. Benzophenone-3 was reported to be nonsensitizing and nonphototoxic in guinea pigs and rabbits. Benzophenones-1, -3, -4, -5, and -9 were nonmutagenic both with and without metabolic activation in the Ames test. Skin irritation and sensitization in humans indicated that Benzophenones were mildly irritating and sensitizing at concentrations greater than those used in cosmetics. On the basis of the available animal data and clinical human experience, it is concluded that Benzophenone-1, -3, -4, -5, -9, and -11.

Le Coz, Jean-Pierre Lepoittevin 51.1 Introduction This chapter has been written in order to familiarize the reader with the chemical structure of chemicals implicated in contact dermatitis, mainly as haptens respon- sible for allergic contact dermatitis. For each molecule, the principal name is used for classification. We have also listed the most important synonym(s), the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Number that characterizes the substance, and its chemical structure. The reader will find one or more relevant literature references. As it was not possible to be exhaustive, some allergens have been omitted since they were obsolete, extremely rarely implicated in contact dermatitis, their case reports were too imprecise or they are extensively treated in other chapters of the textbook. From a practical chemical point of view, acrylates, cyanoacrylates and (meth)acry- lates, cephalosporins, and parabens have been grouped together. 1. Abietic acid CAS Registry Number [514–10–3] Abietic acid is probably the major allergen of colophony, along with dehydroabietic acid,by way of oxidation products.Its detection in a material indicates that allergen- ic components of colophony are present.

I reflect on the challenges overcome, the accomplishments achieved and the advancements made in the field of contact allergy. Entering 2018, our full hapten range is registered as pharmaceuticals in Canada following a lengthy regulatory process. The approved registration, the first in history, is a testament to the superior quality of the Chemotechnique products. This accomplishment has been achieved through the tireless work performed by our laboratory staff and from our North American distributor Dormer Laboratories and their consultants. I take this opportunity to extend my appreciation not only to the people involved but to all people fighting to overcome varying regulatory hurdles that are being imposed onto Patch Testing around the world, thereby limiting its beneficial expansion. The notion that an increasing number of patients previously undiagnosed are now experiencing an enhanced quality of life through the diagnosis of contact allergy assures me that Patch Testing remains as relevant as ever before, and I am of the firm belief that Patch Testing is, and will continue to be, a procedure

  • Herbal Photoprotective Formulations and Their Evaluation Deep Chanchal and Saraf Swarnlata*
    The Open Natural Products Journal, 2009, 2, 71-76 71 Open Access Herbal Photoprotective Formulations and their Evaluation Deep Chanchal and Saraf Swarnlata* Institute of Pharmacy, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur., C.G. 492001, India Abstract: Photochemoprevention has become an important armamentarium in the fight against ultraviolet radiation in- duced damage to the skin. UV irradiation to skin results in erythema, edema, sunburn cells, hyperplasia, immunosuppres- sion, photoaging and photocarcinogenesis. Various synthetic agents have been used as photoprotectives but they have lim- ited use because of their potential toxicity in humans and their ability to interfere only in selected pathways of multistage process of carcinogenesis. Several botanical compounds have been shown to be antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic and non- toxic and have ability to exert striking inhibitory effects on a plethora of cellular events at various stages of carcinogene- sis. Since multiple pathways are involved in photocarcinogenesis so mixture of several botanical antioxidants working through various mechanisms, in conjunction with the use of sunscreens could also be an effective approach for reducing photoaging and skin cancer in humans. The performance of sunscreen substances could be improved by modification of their chemical, physical and technological properties or by the use of novel carriers like liposomes, nanoparticles, phyto- somes, transferosomes, nanospheres etc. The application of novel approaches can also improve its efficacy regarding
