Effect of pentane-1,5-diol and propane-1,2-diol on percutaneous absorption of terbinafine.

Stabilizing Effect of Organic Stabilizer (EDTA, 1,2 Propane diol, Benzoic Acid and Phenol) on the Thermal Degradation of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Treatment of atopic dermatitis with 1% hydrocortisone and 25% pentane-1,5-diol: effect on Staphylococcus aureus.

372 Letters to the Editor Sir, Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen that may colonize normal skin, but it is not a member of the normal skin flora (1, 2). In healthy individuals it is most commonly isolated from the nose, the groin and the perineum. Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are colonized with S. aureus both in lesional skin as well as in non-lesional skin in 70–100% of cases (...

The in vitro activity of pentane-1,5-diol against aerobic bacteria. A new antimicrobial agent for topical usage?

Multi-resistance to antibiotic therapy and to biocides is becoming increasingly common, which has led to mounting concern worldwide regarding the future use of traditional antimicrobials. Diols or glycols also have antimicrobial effects. Pentane-1,5-diol has low oral toxicity, is essentially non-irritating to the skin and has high antimicrobial activities against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Th...

Development of an analytical method for 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol in soy sauce using 4-heptanone as derivatizing agent.

3-Monochloro-1,2-propane diol is a suspected carcinogen found in hydrolysed vegetable protein products such as soy sauce. A method is described for the analysis of 3-monochloro-1,2-propane diol in soy sauce by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry at a concentration range of 1-5000 ng g-1 using 4-heptanone as the derivatizing ketone and 3-monochloro-1,2-propane diol-d5 as the internal standard. ...

Small-angle neutron scattering study of aqueous solutions of pentanediol and hexanediol

Aqueous solutions of 1,2-pentanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol and 1,6hexanediol have been studied by small-angle neutron scattering over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures. The structure of the solutions on the mesoscopic length scale, corresponding to the intermolecular distances, was analysed with the help of the Kirkwood–Buff formalism. 1,2-Hexanediol solutions exhibited...
