A novel nonsense mutation of in a Vietnamese family with xeroderma pigmentosum syndrome group D.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) group D, a severe disease often typified by extreme sun sensitivity, can be caused by mutations. encodes an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent DNA helicase, namely XP group D protein (XPD). The XPD, one of ten subunits of the transcription factor TFIIH, plays a critical role in the nucleotide-excision repair (NER) pathway.

Anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities of calophyllolide isolated from Calophyllum inophyllum Linn.

Due to the high-cost and limitations of current wound healing treatments, the search for alternative approaches or drugs, particularly from medicinal plants, is of key importance. In this study, we report anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities of the major calophyllolide (CP) compound isolated from Calophyllum inophyllum Linn. The results showed that CP had no effect on HaCaT cell viability over a range of concentrations.
