  • Publication number: 20210386635
    Abstract: Described are compositions containing quinones that show activity in enhance DNA repair and/or prevent damage to DNA and/or upregulate genes associated with wound healing. The quinones are thymoquinone, lapachol, myrtucommulone C, or mixtures thereof, and can be formulated into cosmetic compositions for topical administration to a subject in need thereof. The cosmetic compositions can also include sunscreens, surfactants, sunless tanning agents, desquamation agents, antiperspirants, colorants, preservatives and mixtures; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The compositions should find use in methods for treating the signs of ageing in mammals, dermatitis and wound healing via topical application to a site in need thereof, such as the skin or hair of the mammals or a wound site.

  • Publication number: 20120059599
    Abstract: A system and method generate a structure activity relationship model to determine whether unknown chemical compounds are of a desired classification where the structure activity relationship model is based on a set of known chemical compounds having known structural and/or biological descriptors. A system and method utilize a structure activity relationship model to determine whether unknown chemical compounds are of the desired classification, where descriptors of the known chemical compounds are compared to structural and/or biological descriptors of the unknown chemical compounds to determine whether the test chemical compounds are of the desired classification. A system and method generate a structure activity relationship model to study how particular agents may induce disease or act as therapeutic agents. The model may also be used to study how groups of agents induce disease or act as therapeutic agents and to study the etiology and treatment of disease in general.
