Chitosan-Glycolic Acid Gel Modification of Chloride Ion Transport in Mammalian Skin: An In Vitro Study.

Chitosan, a polyaminosaccharide with high medical and cosmetic potential, can be combined with the beneficial properties of glycolic acid to form a gel that not only moisturizes the skin, but also has a regenerative effect. Its involvement in the activation of biochemical processes may be associated with the activity of skin ion channels. Therefore, the aim of the research was to evaluate the immediate (15 s) and long-term (24 h) effect of chitosan-glycolic acid gel (CGG) on the transepithelial electric potential and the transepithelial electric resistance (R) of skin specimens tested in vitro.

Benzo[b]thiophene-thiazoles as potent anti-Toxoplasma gondii agents: Design, synthesis, tyrosinase/tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitors, molecular docking study, and antioxidant activity.

Synthesis and investigation of anti-Toxoplasma gondii activity of novel thiazoles containing benzo [b]thiophene moiety are presented. Among the derivatives, compound 3k with adamantyl group shows exceptionally high potency against Me49 strain with IC (8.74 μM) value which is significantly lower than the activity of trimethoprim (IC 39.

[VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND SOME INDICATORS OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION OF PATIENTS HAVING CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASES OF THE GASTRO DUODENAL ZONE].

The aim of the study was to determine the content of vaskuloendotelian growth factor and nitric oxide in children with chronic inflammatory diseases of the stomach and duodenum. The study involved 63 children with chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastroduodenal zone. Substrate study was serum.
