cetyl alcohol/inflammation

The protective effects of synthetic lung surfactant Exosurf® (containing cetyl alcohol) against endotoxin-induced inflammation have been demonstrated in the literature. Thus, it is envisioned that nanoparticles loaded with quercetin (Q-NPs) prepared with binary mixtures of cetyl alcohol (CA) and

We previously demonstrated that the synthetic surfactant Exosurf and a modified natural surfactant, Survanta, both down-regulated endotoxin-stimulated production of inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6) in human alveolar macrophages. To further

Camellia sinensis, which is obtained from green tea extract (GTE), has been widely used in therapy owing to the antioxidant, chemoprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities of its chemical components. However, GTE is an unstable compound, and may undergo reactions that lead to a reduction

2 acute irritants and 1 allergen were selected: sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) representative of irritant household and occupational contact dermatitis, the combination of ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) and urea to simulate diaper dermatitis, and Rhus to evaluate the effect of model protective materials.

BACKGROUND Unique whole formula nature-based sensitive skin products are formulated to minimize irritation while providing conditioning and soothing benefits to clinically diagnosed sensitive skin. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the efficacy and tolerability of a regimen of cleanser containing

Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that the synthetic surfactant Exosurf (Burroughs Wellcome Co.) inhibited endotoxin-stimulated cytokine secretion from human alveolar macrophages in vitro. The purpose of the present study was to further characterize the suppressive effects of Exosurf,

Etodolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug having an elimination half-life of 7 h; oral doses are given every 6-8 h. The aim of current work was the development of controlled-release etodolac lipid matrix tablets. The variables influencing design of these tablets (L1-L28) by the hot fusion

From previous studies, it has been found that curcumin exhibits an anti-inflammatory activity and is being used for the treatment of skin disorders; however, it is hydrophobic and has weak penetrating ability, resulting in poor drug transport through the stratum corneum. The aim of this study was to

The lack of a first-pass effect for locally-applied substances is often not considered. This is especially true for such central nervous system agents as salicylic acid, hexachlorophene or caffeine which have a relatively low toxicity when applied orally. Manifestation of dermal irritation, such as

Background: Rosacea is characterized by irritation associated with erythema, telangiectasias and papules/pustules. Whole formula nature-based sensitive skin products are formulated to maintain skin barrier and appropriate hydration that can lead to soothing benefits.Objective: To evaluate the
