Abstract
The synthesis of hybrid molecules is one of the current strategies of drug discovery for the development of new lead compounds. The 1,2,3-triazole moiety represents an important building block in Medicinal Chemistry, extensively present in recent years. In this paper, we presented the design and the synthesis of new 1,2,3-triazole hybrids, containing both an isatine and a phenolic core. Firstly, the non-commercial azide and the alkyne synthons were prepared by different isatines and phenolic acids, respectively. Then, the highly regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted triazoles was obtained in excellent yields by a click chemistry approach, catalyzed by Cu(I). Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on the hybrid library, finding four different therapeutic targets. Among them, the most promising results were obtained on 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme involved in the inflammatory processes.

Molecular hybrids of substituted phenylcarbamoylpiperidine and 1,2,4-triazole methylacetamide as potent 15-LOX inhibitors: Design, synthesis, DFT calculations and molecular docking studies. Bioorg Chem 2024; 143:106984. [PMID: 38056389 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
Inflammation is a multifaceted phenomenon triggered by potentially active mediators acutely released arachidonic acid metabolites partially in lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway which are primarily accountable for causing several diseases in humans. It is widely believed that an inhibitor of the LOX pathway represents a rational approach for designing more potent antiinflammatory leads with druggable super safety profiles. In our continual efforts in search for anti-LOX molecules, the present work was to design a new series of N-alkyl/aralkyl/aryl derivatives (7a-o) of 4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoylpiperidine)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol which was commenced in seriate formation of phenylcarbamoyl derivative (1), hydrazide (2), semicarbazide (3) and 4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoylpiperidine)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (4). The aimed compounds were obtained by reacting 4-phenyl-5-(1-phenylcarbamoylpiperidine)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with assorted N-alkyl/aralkyl/aryl electrophiles. All compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H-, 13C-NMR spectroscopy, EI-MS and HR-EI-MS spectrometry and screened against soybean 15-LOX for their inhibitory potential using chemiluminescence method. All the compounds except 7m and 7h inhibited the said enzyme remarkably. Compounds 7c,7l, 7j and 7a displayed potent inhibitions ranging from IC50 1.92 ± 0.13 µM to 7.65 ± 0.12 µM. Other analogues 7g, 7o, 7e, 7b, 7d, 7k and 7n revealed excellent inhibitory values ranging from IC50 12.45 ± 0.38 µM to 24.81 ± 0.47 µM. All these compounds did not reveal DPPH radical scavenging activity. Compounds 7i-o maintained > 90 % human blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) viability at 0.125 mM as assayed by MTT whilst others were found toxic. Pharmacokinetic profiles predicted good oral bioavailability and drug-likeness properties of the active scaffolds. SAR investigations showed that phenyl substituted analogue on amide side decreased inhibitory activity due to inductive and mesomeric effects while the mono-alkyl substituted analogues were more active than disubstituted ones and ortho substituted analogues were more potent than meta substituted ones. MD simulation predicted the stability of the 7c ligand and receptor complex as shown by their relative RMSD (root mean square deviation) values. Molecular docking studies displayed hydrogen bonding between the compounds and the enzyme with Arg378 which was common in 7n, 7g, 7h and baicalein. In 7a and quercetin, hydrogen bonding was established through Asn375. RMSD values exhibited good inhibitory profiles in the order quercetin (0.73 Å) < 7 g < baicalein < 7a < 7n < 7 h (1.81 Å) and the binding free energies followed similar pattern. Density functional theory (DFT) data established good correlation between the active compounds and significant activity was associated with more stabilized LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals) orbitals. Nevertheless, the present studies declare active analogues like 7c, 7 l, 7a, 7j as leads. Work is ongoing in derivatizing active molecules to explore more effective leads as 15-LOX inhibitors as antiinflammatory agents.

Caffeic Acid Phosphanium Derivatives: Potential Selective Antitumor, Antimicrobial and Antiprotozoal Agents. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1200. [PMID: 38256271 PMCID: PMC10817097 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25021200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Caffeic acid (CA) is one of the most abundant natural compounds present in plants and has a broad spectrum of beneficial pharmacological activities. However, in some cases, synthetic derivation of original molecules can expand their scope. This study focuses on the synthesis of caffeic acid phosphanium derivatives with the ambition of increasing their biological activities. Four caffeic acid phosphanium salts (CAPs) were synthesized and tested for their cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, and amoebicidal activity in vitro, with the aim of identifying the best area for their medicinal use. CAPs exhibited significantly stronger cytotoxic activity against tested cell lines (HeLa, HCT116, MDA-MB-231 MCF-7, A2058, PANC-1, Jurkat) in comparison to caffeic acid. Focusing on Jurkat cells (human leukemic T cell lymphoma), the IC50 value of CAPs ranged from 0.9 to 8.5 μM while IC50 of CA was >300 μM. Antimicrobial testing also confirmed significantly higher activity of CAPs against selected microbes in comparison to CA, especially for Gram-positive bacteria (MIC 13-57 μM) and the yeast Candida albicans (MIC 13-57 μM). The anti-Acanthamoeba activity was studied against two pathogenic Acanthamoeba strains. In the case of A. lugdunensis, all CAPs revealed a stronger inhibitory effect (EC50 74-3125 μM) than CA (>105 µM), while in A. quina strain, the higher inhibition was observed for three derivatives (EC50 44-291 μM). The newly synthesized quaternary phosphanium salts of caffeic acid exhibited selective antitumor action and appeared to be promising antimicrobial agents for topical application, as well as potential molecules for further research.

Abstract
In the search for new 5-LOX inhibitors, two ferrocenyl Schiff base complexes functionalized with catechol ((ƞ5-(E)-C5H4-NCH-3,4-benzodiol)Fe(ƞ5-C5H5) (3a)) and vanillin ((ƞ5-(E)-C5H4-NCH-3-methoxy-4-phenol)Fe(ƞ5-C5H5) (3b)) were obtained. Complexes 3a and 3b were biologically evaluated as 5-LOX inhibitors showed potent inhibition compared to their organic analogs (2a and 2b) and known commercial inhibitors, with IC50 = 0.17 ± 0.05 μM for (3a) and 0.73 ± 0.06 μM for (3b) demonstrated a highly inhibitory and potent effect against 5-LOX due to the incorporation of the ferrocenyl fragment. Molecular dynamic studies showed a preferential orientation of the ferrocenyl fragment toward the non-heme iron of 5-LOX, which, together with electrochemical and in-vitro studies, allowed us to propose a competitive redox deactivation mechanism mediated by water, where Fe(III)-enzyme can be reduced by the ferrocenyl fragment. An Epa/IC50 relationship was observed, and the stability of the Schiff bases was evaluated by SWV in the biological medium, observing that the hydrolysis does not affect the high potency of the complexes, making them interesting alternatives for pharmacological applications.

Abstract
Lipoxygenase (LOX) is a major endogenous enzyme for the enzymatic oxidation of lipids during meat storage and meat product manufacturing. In the present work, some characteristics, i.e., effects of inhibitors, selectivity of substrates and specificity of oxidation products, were studied using recombinant porcine 12-lipoxygenase catalytic domain (12-LOXcd). Several familiar inhibitors were found inhibit the activity of recombinant porcine 12-LOXcd;nordihydroguaiaretic acid demonstrated the strongest inhibitory effect. The enzyme could oxygenate common polyunsaturated fatty acids, and showed the highest affinity to linoleic acid (LA), followed by arachidonic acid (AA), linolenic acid (LN) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Under the action of porcine 12-LOXcd, LA was oxidized into four hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE) isomers, i.e., 13-Z,E-HODE, 13-E,E-HODE, 9-Z,E-HODE and 9-E,E-HODE. Variation of pH not only affected the yield of LA oxidation products, but also the distribution of HODE isomers. These results indicated that endogenous LOX activity and LOX-catalyzed lipid oxidation can be regulated during meat storage and meat product manufacturing.

Abstract
Sinapic acid is found in many edible plants and fruits, such as rapeseed, where it is the predominant phenolic compound. New sinapic acid phenethyl ester (SAPE) analogues were synthesized and screened as inhibitors of the biosynthesis of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in stimulated HEK293 cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). Inhibition of leukotriene biosynthesis catalyzed by 5-LO is a validated therapeutic strategy against certain inflammatory diseases and allergies. Unfortunately, the only inhibitor approved to date has limited clinical use because of its poor pharmacokinetic profile and liver 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) bearing 4-trifluoromethyl, methyl, or methoxy substituent at meta-position of the phenethyl moiety were 1.5 and 11.5 times more potent than SAPE (IC50: 0.30 μM) and zileuton (IC50: 2.31 μM), respectively. Additionally, compound 9 (IC50: 0.27 μM), which was obtained after acetylation of the 4-hydroxyl of SAPE, was equivalent to SAPE and 8 times more active than zileuton. Furthermore, compound 20b (IC50: 0.27 μM) obtained after the bioisosteric replacement of the ester function of SAPE by the 1,2,4-oxadiazole heterocycle was equivalent to SAPE and 8 times more active than zileuton. Thus, this study provides a basis for the rational design of new molecules that could be developed further as anti 5-LO therapeutics.

Abstract
Phenols are widespread in nature, being the major components of several plants and essential oils. Natural phenols' anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, pharmacological and nutritional properties are, nowadays, well established. Hence, given their peculiar biological role, numerous studies are currently ongoing to overcome their limitations, as well as to enhance their activity. In this review, the functionalization of selected natural phenols is critically examined, mainly highlighting their improved bioactivity after the proper chemical transformations. In particular, functionalization of the most abundant naturally occurring monophenols, diphenols, lipidic phenols, phenolic acids, polyphenols and curcumin derivatives is explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leukotrienes (LTs) constitute a bioactive group of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) metabolites molded by the enzymatic activity of lipoxygenase (LO) and have a pivotal role in inflammation and allergy. Evidence is accumulating both by in vitro cell culture experiments and animal tumor model studies in support of the direct involvement of aberrant metabolism of arachidonic acid (ACD) in the development of several types of human cancers such as lung, prostate, pancreatic and colorectal malignancies. Several independent experimental data suggest a correlation between tumoral cells viability and LO gene expression, especially, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). Overexpressed 5-LO cells live longer, proliferate faster, invade more effectively through extracellular matrix destruction and activate the anti-apoptotic signaling mechanisms more intensively compared to the normal counterparts. Thus, some groups of lipoxygenase inhibitors may be effective as promising chemopreventive agents. METHODS A structured search of bibliographic databases for peer-reviewed research literature regarding the role of LO in the pathogenesis of cancer was performed. The characteristics of screened papers were summarized and the latest advances focused on the discovery of new LO inhibitors as anticancer agents were discussed. RESULTS More than 180 papers were included and summarized in this review; the majority was about the newly designed and synthesized 5-LO inhibitors as anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. The enzyme's structure, 5-LO pathway, 5-LO inhibitors structure-activity relationships as well as the correlation between these drugs and a number of most prevalent human cancers were described. In most cases, it has been emphasized that dual cyclooxygenase-2/5-lipoxygenase (COX-2/5-LO) or dual 5-lipoxygenase/microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (5-LO/mPGES-1) inhibitors possess considerable inhibitory activities against their target enzymes as well as potent antiproliferative effects. Several papers disclosing 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP) antagonists as a new group of 5-LO activity regulators are also subject to this review. Also, the potential of 12-lipoxygenase (12- LO) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) inhibitors as chemopreventive agents was outlined to expand the scope of new anticancer agents discovery. Some peptides and peptidomimetics with anti-LT activities were described as well. In addition, the cytotoxic effects of lipoxygenase inhibitors and their adverse effects were discussed and some novel series of natural-product-derived inhibitors of LO was also discussed in this review. CONCLUSION This review gives insights into the novel lipoxygenase inhibitors with anticancer activity as well as the different molecular pharmacological strategies to inhibit the enzyme effectively. The findings confirm that certain groups of LO inhibitors could act as promising chemopreventive agents.

New Zileuton-Hydroxycinnamic Acid Hybrids: Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship towards 5-Lipoxygenase Inhibition. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25204686. [PMID: 33066378 PMCID: PMC7587396 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25204686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel series of zileuton-hydroxycinnamic acid hybrids were synthesized and screened as 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors in stimulated HEK293 cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). Zileuton’s (1) benzo[b]thiophene and hydroxyurea subunits combined with hydroxycinnamic acid esters’ ester linkage and phenolic acid moieties were investigated. Compound 28, bearing zileuton’s (1) benzo[b]thiophene and sinapic acid phenethyl ester’s (2) α,β-unsaturated phenolic acid moiety 28, was shown to be equipotent to zileuton (1), the only clinically approved 5-LO inhibitor, in stimulated HEK293 cells. Compound 28 was three times as active as zileuton (1) for the inhibition of 5-LO in PMNL. Compound 37, bearing the same sinapic acid (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy substitution) moiety as 28, combined with zileuton’s (1) hydroxyurea subunit was inactive. This result shows that the zileuton’s (1) benzo[b]thiophene moiety is essential for the inhibition of 5-LO product biosynthesis with our hydrids. Unlike zileuton (1), Compound 28 formed two π–π interactions with Phe177 and Phe421 as predicted when docked into 5-LO. Compound 28 was the only docked ligand that showed a π–π interaction with Phe177 which may play a part in product specificity as reported.

Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2020; 353:e2000027. [PMID: 32696514 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202000027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2020] [Revised: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
A new series of pyrazoloquinazoline derivatives equipped with different chalcones was designed, synthesized, and identified through 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13 C NMR, and infrared spectroscopic techniques. Our design strategy of the quinazolinone-privileged scaffold as a new scaffold was based on merging pharmacophores previously reported to exhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitory activity. All the newly synthesized derivatives were biologically evaluated for COX and 5-LOX inhibitory activity and COX-2 selectivity, using celecoxib and zileuton as reference drugs, as they exhibited promising anti-inflammatory activity. Compound 3j was found to be the most promising derivative, with IC50 values of 667 and 47 nM against COX-1 and COX-2, respectively, which are superior to that of celecoxib (IC50 value against COX-2 = 95 nM), showing an SI of 14.2 that was much better than celecoxib. Compounds 3f and 3h exhibited COX-1 inhibition, with IC50 values of 1,485 and 684 nM, respectively. The synthesized compounds showed a significant inhibitory activity against 5-LOX, with IC50 values ranging from 0.6 to 4.3 µM, where compounds 3f and 3h were found to be the most potent derivatives, with IC50 values of 0.6 and 1.0 µM, respectively, in comparison with that of zileuton (IC50 = 0.8 µM). These promising derivatives, 3f, 3h, and 3j, were further investigated in vivo for anti-inflammatory, gastric ulcerogenic effects, and prostaglandin production (PGE2) in rat serum. The molecular docking studies concerning the binding sites of COX-2 and 5-LOX revealed similar orientation, compared with reported inhibitors, which encouraged us to design new leads targeting COX-2 and 5-LOX as dual inhibitors, as a new avenue in anti-inflammatory therapy.

Abstract
Polyphenols are secondary metabolites of plants and include a variety of chemical structures, from simple molecules such as phenolic acids to condensed tannins and highly polymerized compounds. Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is one of the hydroxycinnamate metabolites more widely distributed in plant tissues. It is present in many food sources, including coffee drinks, blueberries, apples, and cider, and also in several medications of popular use, mainly those based on propolis. Its derivatives are also known to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antibacterial activities, and can contribute to the prevention of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. This review is an overview of the available information about the chemical synthesis and antioxidant activity of caffeic acid derivatives. Considering the relevance of these compounds in human health, many of them have been the focus of reviews, taking as a center their obtaining from the plants. There are few revisions that compile the chemical synthesis methods, in this way, we consider that this review does an important contribution.

Abstract
While plant polyphenols possess a variety of biological properties, exploration of chemical diversity around them is still problematic. Here, an example of application of the Ugi multicomponent reaction to the combinatorial assembly of artificial, yet "natural-like", polyphenols is presented. The synthesized compounds represent a second-generation library directed to the inhibition of β-amyloid protein aggregation. Chiral enantiopure compounds, and polyphenol-β-lactam hybrids have been prepared too. The biochemical assays have highlighted the importance of the key pharmacophores in these compounds. A lead for inhibition of aggregation of truncated protein AβpE3-42 was selected.

Abstract
The most common inflammatory disease of the airways is asthma among children affecting around 235 million people worldwide. 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a crucial enzyme which helps in the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to leukotrienes (LTs), the lipid mediators. It is associated with several inflammation related disorders such as asthma, allergy, and atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is considered as a promising target against inflammation and asthma. Currently, the only drug against 5-LOX which is available is Zileuton, while a few inhibitors are in clinical trial stages such as Atreleuton and Setileuton. So, there is a dire requirement in the area of progress of novel 5-LOX inhibitors which necessitates an understanding of their structure activity relationship and mode of action. In this review, novel 5-LOX inhibitors reported so far, their structural design, SAR and developmental strategies along with clinical updates are discussed over the last two decades.

Abstract
The first asymmetric synthesis and configurational elucidation of (-)-cephalezomine G was achieved. The highly functionalized Cα-substituted proline derivative was prepared from d-proline as the only chiral source via a C → N → C chirality transfer method consisting of stereoselective N-allylation and [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement. The azaspiranic tetracyclic backbone was constructed using ring-closing metathesis and the Friedel-Crafts reaction. Two contiguous hydroxyl groups were introduced in the later stages.

Design, synthesis and identification of novel substituted 2-amino thiazole analogues as potential anti-inflammatory agents targeting 5-lipoxygenase. Eur J Med Chem 2018; 158:34-50.

Abstract
Human 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a key enzyme targeted for asthma and inflammation. Zileuton, the only drug against 5-LOX, was withdrawn from the market due to several problems. In the present study, the performance of rationally designed conjugates of thiazole (2) and thiourea (3) scaffolds from our previously reported 2-amino-4-aryl thiazole (1) is reported. They are synthesized (total 31 derivatives), characterized, and tested against the 5-LOX enzyme in vitro and the mode of action of the most active ones are determined. Compound 2m exhibited an IC50 of 0.9 ± 0.1 μM acting through competitive (non-redox) mechanism, unlike Zileuton, and found to be devoid of radical scavenging properties. Computational studies are in good agreement with the experimental data supporting its mechanism of action. Another lead molecule from the thiourea series (3), 3f, exhibited an IC50 of 1.4 ± 0.1 μM against 5-LOX whose mode of action is redox type (non-competitive). It is promising to note that the activities displayed by both the lead inhibitors, 2m and 3f, are better than the commercial drug, Zileuton (IC50 = 1.5 ± 0.3 μM). These inhibitors could be further developed as drugs against inflammation.

Abstract
Leukotrienes are biosynthesized by the conversion of arachidonic acid by 5-Lipoxygenase and play a key role in many inflammatory disorders. Inspired by caffeic acid phenylethyl ester (CAPE) (2) and an analog carrying a triazole substituted by cinnamoyl and 5-LO inhibitors recently reported by our team, sixteen new CAPE analogs bearing substituted triazole were synthesized by copper catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Compound10e, an analog bearingp-CF3 phenethyl substituted triazole, was equivalent to CAPE (2) but clearly surpassed Zileuton (2), the only approved 5-LO inhibitor. Substitution of the phenethyl moiety by cyclohexylethyl, as with12g, clearly increased 5-LO inhibition which confirms the importance of hydrophobic interactions. Molecular docking revealed new hydrogen bonds andπ-πinteractions between the enzyme and some of the investigated compounds. Overall, this work highlights the relevance of exploring polyphenolic compounds as leukotrienes biosynthesis inhibitors.

Radice M, Manfredini S, Ziosi P, Dissette V, Buso P, Fallacara A, Vertuani S. Herbal extracts, lichens and biomolecules as natural photo-protection alternatives to synthetic UV filters. A systematic review. Fitoterapia 2016; 114:144-162. [PMID: 27642040 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2016.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2016] [Revised: 09/12/2016] [Accepted: 09/14/2016] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Besides the unquestionable positive effects of solar exposure for human health, UV rays have been widely investigated for toxicology aspects related to excessive UVB and UVA doses, which involve sunburns, skin aging, DNA skin damage and tumorigenesis. At present, synthetic and mineral sunscreens are used to protect against these damages but several natural molecules can provide UV protection, including also synergic effect or enhanced photo stability. Although a large number of herbal extracts and plant origin molecules can deserve potential applications, most of the study reported utilizes different method and different strategies of investigation, making thus difficult to understand the real versus claimed potential. This is possibly one of the reasons why, beside the large body of literature there are no officially approved natural commercial sun-filter but a consistent number of commercially available solar products (sunscreen) on the market that contain herbal derivatives. In this review we have evaluated the papers appeared in the last 15years and we have critically collected the most significant data. Several databases, namely Scifinder, Pubmed, Google Scholar, ISI-Web of Science and Scopus, were used as literature sources; excluding patents and symposium or congress papers. Only articles in the English language have been selected. New formulation, new skin delivery systems, skin penetration enhancers and boosters are most likely the next frontier of investigation in order to better understand the role of whole herbal extracts in exerting their photo protective activity.
