Effect of alpha-resorcylic acid–l-phenylalanine amide on collagen synthesis and matrix metalloproteinase expression in fibroblasts
摘要:
Regulation of collagen synthesis and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression levels has been an important issue in medicinal, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Herein, alpha-Resorcylic acid-phenylalanine amide (alpha-RA-F) was prepared and its biological activities were observed. We found that alpha-RA-F boosted collagen synthesis and reduced MMPs expression levels in human fibroblasts without cytotoxicity. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
