Abstract. Facial seborrheic dermatitis (FSD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disorder occurring in areas of the face rich in sebaceous glands. It clinically manifests as erythematous scaly macules or plaques, often associated with pruritus. Although the pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis is not yet fully understood, Malassezia yeast, hormones, sebum levels, and immune response are known to play important roles. Additional factors including drugs, cold temperatures, and stress may exacerbate the condition. Currently, the available treatments do not cure the disease but relieve symptoms. Various pharmacological treatments are available, including antifungal agents, keratolytics, topical low-potency steroids, and calcineurin inhibitors. All of them provide several benefits, but they also have potential side effects. Seborrheic dermatitis tends to have a chronic, recurrent course. To avoid the long-term use of drugs, topical non-pharmacological products such as cosmetics or medical devices may improve clinical outcomes. Products with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as zinc, piroctone olamine, dihydroavenanthramide, biosaccharide gum-2, and stearyl glycyrrhetinate may speed FSD recovery and avoid flare-ups. Finally, the use of specific cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens formulated as light creams or gel/creams should be strongly recommended to all FSD patients. We provide a brief review of the most used non-pharmacological cleansers, topical gel/creams, and specific sunscreens in the management of FSD.

Abstract. Dandruff (pityriasis capitis) is a chronic scalp condition characterized by scaling and sometimes itching and redness. Shampoos containing antifungal agents are used to control the scaling condition. In the present study, two shampoos with different actives are compared in a double-blind, randomised and bilateral study on 19 subjects. One shampoo contained piroctone olamine (0.75%) combined with salicylic acid (2%) and the other contained zinc pyrithione (1%) as active ingredient. The subjects were treated twice weekly with the shampoos for almost 4 weeks. Before each treatment the degree of dandruff was evaluated. Both shampoos were highly effective in reducing the dandruff. The combination of piroctone olamine and salicylic acid appeared to be slightly more effective than zinc pyrithione in reducing the severity and area affected by the scaling.
(3) Zelenkova, H. Final report on the pilot trial to verify the effects of Activated Piroctone Olamine (label 100ml) in the management of psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis in patients aged 15 to 60 years.
Abstract. Actived Piroctone Olamine has a proven antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal and keratolytic effect. The effect is selective, only acting on the morbidly altered cells. A randomized, simple controlled trial type - III, with post-registration monitoring and continuous inclusion of male and female patients according to criteria was conducted to verify the efficacy and tolerability of Activated Piroctone Olamine (label 100 ml) applied in the management of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis in patients with significant manifestations of the disease in varying areas of the body (scalp, torso, extremities) of varying extent and to assess differences in individual tolerability and the final effect in a group of selected patients. A total of 42 patients were included. There were 4 males and 10 females with seborrhoeic dermatitis, and 9 males and 19 females with psoriasis affecting various areas. The effects and satisfaction with the therapy in the group of patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis was evaluated as excellent in about 71% and very good in about 29%. From the patient's point of view, excellent satisfaction was reported by 57% and satisfaction by 49% of the patients included. No undesired effects were reported. No patient was excluded from the study, and follow-up examinations were performed within the specified timeframes, with a maximum deviation of 3 days. The effects and satisfaction with the therapy in the group of patients with psoriasis was evaluated as excellent in about 54% and very good in 46%. From the patient's point of view, excellent satisfaction was reported by 64% and satisfaction by 32% of the included patients. Only one patient, and in one case the investigator, rated the treatment as insufficient or unsatisfactory for the designated area. No undesired effects were reported. No patient was excluded from the study.

Abstract. Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is the most prevalent dermatological disease, occurring in up to 50% of newborns, children, and adults around the world. The antibacterial and antifungal resistance contributed to the search for new natural substances and the development of a novel substance based on Melaleuca alternifolia (M. alternifolia) leaf oil (TTO), 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), and α-(-)-bisabolol. Thus, this work aimed to determine the chemical composition of the novel plant-based substance and to evaluate its antimicrobial activity against standard microorganisms involved in the pathogenesis of SD. Moreover, the chemical composition of the substance was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Micrococcus luteus (M. luteus), and Candida albicans (C. albicans) were used for antimicrobial and antifungal assays by means of the broth microdilution method to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Finally, the substance’s ability to inhibit Malassezia furfur (M. furfur) was evaluated. Eighteen compounds from different chemical groups were identified by GC/MS. The major biologically active compounds of the substance were terpinen-4-ol (20.88%), 1,8-cineole (22.28%), (-)-α-bisabolol (25.73%), and o-cymene (8.16%). The results showed that the substance has a synergistic antimicrobial and antifungal activity, while S. epidermidis and C. albicans strains were the most susceptible. Furthermore, the substance inhibited M. furfur, which is a main pathogen involved in the pathogenesis of SD and clinical manifestations. It can be concluded that the novel plant-based substance has a promising potential against M. furfur and scalp commensal bacteria and may be helpful for the development of new drugs for treatment of dandruff and SD.

Abstract. Objectives The objective was to evaluate the antifungal efficacy of shampoo formulations of ketoconazole, miconazole or climbazole and accelerated hydrogen peroxide wash/rinse against Microsporum canis and Trichophyton species spores. Methods Lime sulfur (1:16)-treated control, enilconazole (1:100)-treated control, accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP 7%) 1:20 and a 1:10 dilution of shampoo formulations of miconazole 2%, miconazole 2%/chlorhexidine gluconate 2-2.3%, ketoconazole 1%/chlorhexidine 2%, climbazole 0.5%/chlorhexidine 3% and sterile water-untreated control were tested in three experiments. In the first, a suspension of infective spores and hair/scale fragments was incubated with a 1:10, 1:5 and 1:1 dilution of spores to test solutions for 10 mins. In the second, toothbrushes containing infected cat hair in the bristles were soaked and agitated in test solutions for 10 mins, rinsed, dried and then fungal cultured (n = 12×). In the third, a 3 min contact time combined with an AHP rinse was tested (n = 10×). Good efficacy was defined as no growth. Results Water controls grew >300 colony-forming units/plate and all toothbrushes were culture-positive prior to testing. For the suspension tests, all test products showed good efficacy. Miconazole 2%, ketoconazole 1% and AHP showed good efficacy after a 10 min contact time. Good efficacy was achieved with a shorter contact time (3 mins) only if combined with an AHP rinse. Conclusions and relevance Lime sulfur and enilconazole continued to show good efficacy. In countries or situations where these products cannot be used, shampoos containing ketoconazole, miconazole or climbazole are alternative haircoat disinfectants, with a 10 min contact time or 3 mins if combined with an AHP rinse.

"Descrizione" about Cherry flavoring by Al222 (18985 pt) | 2024-May-16 17:41 |
Read the full Tiiip | (Send your comment) |
Cherry flavoring typically involves combining various chemical compounds that mimic the natural flavors found in cherries. These compounds include benzaldehyde (which provides the dominant note), along with other esters, alcohols, and acids to create a complex, fruit-like flavor profile.
Chemical Industrial Synthesis Process
Natural Production of Cherry Flavor
Natural cherry flavor is extracted directly from cherry fruits or derived from other natural sources that share flavor components with cherries. This method captures the authentic flavors of the fruit.
As we have seen, the difference between a chemical aroma and a natural aroma is substantial.
