CLXIX.—Studies on certain aliphatic hydroxy-acids

The effect of aliphatic acids on the activity of certain antibacterial agents.

Effects of aliphatic fatty acids

octanoate or decanoate per mol of albumin caused a decrease in dye binding (dye/protein molar ratio 1 : 1), which, in contrast with additional fatty acid, was very pronounced: 1-8mol of palmitate or stearate resulted in a small, and apparently linear, displacement of Phenol Red. The displacement effect of 1-5 mol of oleate, linoleate or linolenate per mol of albumin was comparable with that of ...

Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers

Biodegradable poly(α-hydroxyacids) have gained increasing interest in the biomedical field for their use as cell microcarriers thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties/degradation rates and processability. The synthesis of these poly(α-hydroxyacids) can be finely controlled to yield (co)polymers of desired mechanical properties and degradation rates. On ...

Alpha Hydroxy Acids in Cosmetic Dermatology

Solubility and sedimentation studies on certain pentose nucleic acids.

Previous publications from this laboratory (l-3) have described the composition and some chemical properties of certain specimens of ribonucleic acids and of fractions derived from them. Because of the vagueness presently inherent in the term “nucleic acid,” it is believed that any specimen which is studied for any purpose should be characterized by many properties in order to facilitate compar...
