The present invention relates to a method for screening compounds having the ability to prevent, treat or reduce malodor development on body surfaces. In particular, the method allows to efficiently screen for compound having the ability of preventing sweat malodor development caused by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). The present invention is based on the finding of the direct precursor of naturally VSCs, which is present in human sweat and which will be metabolized by
Staphylococci
to VSCs.
本发明涉及一种筛选具有预防、治疗或减少身体表面恶臭发生能力的化合物的方法。特别是,该方法允许高效地筛选具有预防由挥发性硫化物(VSCs)引起的汗液恶臭发生能力的化合物。本发明基于发现自然VSCs的直接前体存在于人类汗液中,并且将被葡萄球菌代谢为VSCs的发现。
