Plant metabolite 5-pentadecyl resorcinol is produced by the Amazonian fungus Penicillium sclerotiorum LM 5679 / O metabólito vegetal 5-pentadecil resorcinol é produzido pelo fungo amazônico Penicillium sclerotiorum LM 5679

Since the classic studies of Alexander Flemming, Penicillium strains have been known as a rich source of antimicrobial substances. Recent studies have identified novel metabolites produced by Penicillium sclerotiorum that have antibacterial, antifouling and pharmaceutical activities. Here, we report the isolation of a P. sclerotiorum (LM 5679) from Amazonian soil and carry out a culture-based study to determine whether it can produce any novel secondary metabolite(s) that are not thus-far reported for this genus. Using a submerged culture system, secondary metabolites were recovered by solvent extract followed by thin-layer chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy. One novel secondary metabolite was isolated from P. sclerotiorum (LM 5679); the phenolic compound 5-pentadecyl resorcinol widely known as an antifungal, that is produced by diverse plant species. This metabolite was not reported previously in any Penicillium species and was only found once before in fungi (that time, in a Fusarium). Here, we discuss the known activities of 5-pentadecyl resorcinol in the context of its mode-of-action as a hydrophobic (chaotropicity-mediated) stressor.

Phenylethyl Resorcinol Loaded in Liposomal Cream Formulation for Cosmeceutical Application

Phenylethyl Resorcinol (PR)is a cosmeceutical skin lightening agent and the purpose of this study was to enhance its stability by using liposomal cream formulation which increases local efficacy and safety.Liposome formulation was prepared by modified ethanol injection method, and it contained soy phosphatidyl choline (SPC), cholesterol (CHO), Tween 80 (TW80) and deoxycholic acid (DA) mixed with 2% PR. The physicochemical properties, skin permeation as well as cellular study were evaluated in order to obtain the optimized formulation. The optimized liposome formulation composed of SPC:TW80:DA (84:16:2.5)and exhibited vesicle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential of 286.4±8.04 nm, 0.317±0.03 and -39.20±3.85 mV, respectively. Entrapment efficiency (EE) of liposome formulation was 93.55±0.05%. The vesicle was spherical in shape and showed good physicochemical stability for 4 months. The skin permeation study demonstrated that liposome with a negative charge could result in a high PR skin deposition value of 1732.76±216.24 μg/cm2after 24 h. Cellular study showed that liposome formulation could inhibit melanin content in B16 melanoma cells and enhance cell viability in HaCaT keratinocyte cells. The optimized PR liposome was incorporated in cream and investigated physicochemical properties, stability and skin permeation.Liposomal PR cream showed a good stability and a superior result than PR cream in skin permeation parameters, as well as in tyrosinase inhibition

Capillary Electrophoresis Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide by Using Titanium Ion and 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol

A novel method for the detection of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution was developed via reaction between H₂O₂, trivalent titanium ion (Ti³⁺) and 4-(2-thiazolylazo) resorcinol (TAR), resulting in a ternary complex with a maximum UV absorbance at 530 nm. The CE detection of H₂O₂ was fast, sensitive and cost-effective without pretreatment procedures. H₂O₂ was detected within 15 min at 1 to 100 µM range with the lowest detection limit at 1.0 µM. Under the optimized CE conditions, the concentration of H₂O₂ in coffee or tea extract was quantitatively determined. Our results show that CE detection of the ternary complex of H₂O₂-Ti³⁺-TAR has potential applications for the detection of H2O2 in aqueous sources.

Los errores innatos del metabolismo (EIM) son más de 550 enfermedades en las que se presenta una deficiencia o ausencia de proteínas con actividad enzimática, transportadora, receptora o estructural. Cada una de estas enfermedades es rara, pero su gran variedad hace que, consideradas en conjunto, sean la principal patología neonatal. Para la detección de los metabolitos producidos en los EIM se pueden utilizar pruebas cualitativas. Su utilidad radica en que son muy rápidas y de fácil acceso, y en que sirven como pruebas presuntivas para proceder a hacer exámenes más especializados o para enfocar el diagnóstico. Teniendo en cuenta su importancia para un diagnóstico temprano de los EIM, el objetivo del presente artículo es describir el funcionamiento de las pruebas bioquímicas de resorcinol, dinitrofenilhidrazina, nitrosonaftol, nitroprusiato y Hoesch, haciendo énfasis en los metabolitos que detectan.

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are more than 550 diseases in which there is a deficiency or absence of proteins with enzymatic, transporter, receptor or structural activity.

To detect metabolites produced in IEM qualitative tests can be used. They are easily accessible and fast to carry out, and serve as presumptive elements before proceeding to more specialized tests or to focus diagnosis. Given their importance for the early diagnosis of IEM, this article aims to describe the functioning of the following biochemical tests: dinitrophenylhydrazine, resorcinol, nitrosonaphtol, nitroprusside and Hoesch, emphasizing in the metabolites that they detect.

Results:The total effective rate and curative rate of the treatment group for seborrheic dermatitis were 93.5% and 33.3%, respectively. The effective rate for acne was 80.6% and for dermatomycosis microsporina was 7.5%. The total effective rate and curative rate of the control group were 92.1% and 2.6 %, respectively. Conclusions:There is a significant difference in the curative rate between two groups( P 0.05) through x 2 test.

Determination of Resorcinol in Compound Resorcinol Lotion by Dual Wavelength Spectrophotometry / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:The content of resorcinol in compound resorcinol lotion was determined by dual wavelength spec?trophotometry.METHODS:Absorbance was determined by using water as the solvent at the wavelength273.5nm and266.1nm.RESULTS:The results showed that the standard curve of resorcinol concentration ranging from20.32?g/ml to60.96?g/ml was in correspondence with Beer’s law.The absorbance difference and the concentration showed a good linear relationship(r=0.9998).The mean recovery of resorcinol was(99.59?0.45)%(n=9).CONCLUSION:This method is simple,quick and ac?curate.
