The present invention relates to an enzymatic method for killing or inhibiting microbial cells or microorganisms, e.g. in laundry, on hard surfaces, in water systems, on skin, on teeth or on mucous membranes. The present invention also relates to the use of said enzymatic composition for preserving food products, cosmetics, paints, coatings, etc.
and lipophilicity of these phenolic compounds were also evaluated. From the overall results it was concluded that alkyl ester sinapates (linear alkyl esters) present almost the same antioxidant activity, albeit slightly lower, exhibited by the parent compound (sinapic acid). Furthermore, the addition of an alkyl ester side chain has a positive effect on the partition coefficient of sinapic acid, improving
The number of people affected by neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease is rapidly increasing owing to the global increase in life expectancy. Small molecules with neurotrophic effects have great potential for management of these neurological disorders. In this study, different (C1–C12) alkyl ester derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) were synthesized (a total of 30 compounds). The neurotrophic capacity of the test compounds was examined by measuring promotion of survival in serum‐deprived conditions and enhancement of nerve growth factor (NGF)‐induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 neuronal cells. p‐Coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acids and their esters did not alter cell survival, while caffeic acid and all its alkyl esters, especially decyl and dodecyl caffeate, significantly promoted neuronal survival at 25 μm. Methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl caffeate esters also significantly enhanced NGF‐induced neurite outgrowth, among which the most effective ones were propyl and butyl esters, which at 5 μm led to 25‐ and 22‐fold increases in the number of neurites, respectively. The findings of the docking study suggested phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3K) as the potential molecular target. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that alkyl esters of caffeic acid can be useful as scaffolds for the discovery of therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases.

toxicity. With the new analogues synthesized in this study, the role of the phenolic moiety, ester function, and bioisosterism was investigated. Several of the 34 compounds inhibited the biosynthesis of 5-LO products, and 20 compounds were 2–11 times more potent than zileuton in PMNL, which are important producers of 5-LO products. Compounds 5i (IC50: 0.20 μM), 5l (IC50: 0.20 μM), and 5o (IC50: 0.21 μM)
