Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of PTER, or any acceptable salt thereof, optionally in combination with QUER, or any acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for preventing and/or treating skin diseases, damages or injuries. Those methods of prevention and/or treatment comprise the administration of an effective amount of a composition comprising PTER as active compound, or any acceptable salt thereof, optionally in combination with QUER, or any acceptable salt thereof, to the subject. The present invention also refers to the compositions, per se, comprising PTER as active compound, or any acceptable salt thereof, optionally in combination with QUER, or any acceptable slat thereof, characterized by being formulated in the form of liposomes, and to the method for preparing said liposome formulations.

Abstract: The invention relates to the combined use of pterostilbene and quercetin for the production of cancer treatment medicaments. The in vitro growth of melanoma cells B16-F10 (B16M-F10) is inhibited (56%) by combined exposures of short duration (60 min/day) to PTER (40 ?M)+QUER(20 ?M) (˜average values of plasma concentrations measured within the first hour following the IV administration of 20 mg of each polyphenol/kg ˜). The combined intravenous administration of PTER+QUER (20 mg/kg× day) to mice inhibits (73%) the metastatic growth of melanoma B16M-F10 in the liver, a common site for metastasis development. The invention demonstrates that the combination of PTER+QUER inhibits the growth of malignant melanoma metastasis and prolongs the survival of the carrier host.
