Salicylic Acid as a peeling agent: a comprehensive review.
Clinical cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2015Co-Authors: Tasleem ArifAbstract:Salicylic Acid has been used to treat various skin disorders for more than 2,000 years. The ability of Salicylic Acid to exfoliate the stratum corneum makes it a good agent for peeling. In particular, the comedolytic property of Salicylic Acid makes it a useful peeling agent for patients with acne. Once considered as a keratolytic agent, the role of Salicylic Acid as a desmolytic agent, because of its ability to disrupt cellular junctions rather than breaking or lysing intercellular keratin filaments, is now recognized and is discussed here. Salicylic Acid as a peeling agent has a number of indications, including acne vulgaris, melasma, photodamage, freckles, and lentigines. The efficacy and safety of Salicylic Acid peeling in Fitzpatrick skin types I-III as well as in skin types V and VI have been well documented in the literature. This paper reviews the available data and literature on Salicylic Acid as a peeling agent and its possible indications. Its properties, efficacy and safety, the peeling procedure, and possible side effects are discussed in detail. An account of salicylism is also included.

Salicylic Acid peels for the treatment of acne vulgaris in asian patients
Dermatologic Surgery, 2003Co-Authors: Hosup Lee, Il Hwan KimAbstract:Background. Salicylic Acid peels have been introduced as a useful modality in acne treatment. Few studies have examined its efficacy and safety, especially in darker skin. Objective. To assess the efficacy and safety of Salicylic Acid peels as a treatment for acne vulgaris in Asian patients. Methods. Thirty-five Korean patients with facial acne were treated with 30% Salicylic Acid peels biweekly for 12 weeks. Lesion counts and Dr. Cunliffe's score were assessed by a blinded evaluator. Safety assessments and patient's evaluations were also recorded. Results. Both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesion counts were decreased in proportion to the duration of treatment. Dr. Cunliffe's acne grade was statistically significantly decreased after treatment. The side effects were tolerable in most cases, and all patients were pleased with their peel results. Stratum corneum hydration, skin surface lipid, skin pH, and transepidermal water loss were unchanged from baseline levels. Conclusion. Salicylic Acid peels are an effective and safe therapy for acne vulgaris in Asian patients.

alleviation of postharvest chilling injury of tomato fruit by Salicylic Acid treatment
Journal of Food Science and Technology-mysore, 2014Co-Authors: Morteza Soleimani Aghdam, Mohammadreza Asghari, Orojali Khorsandi, Mehdi MohayejiAbstract:Tomato fruit at the mature green stage were treated with Salicylic Acid at different concentration (0, 1 and 2 mM) and analyzed for chilling injury (CI), electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline contents and phospholipase D (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) activities during cold storage. PLD and LOX activities were significantly reduced by Salicylic Acid treatment. Compared with the control fruit, Salicylic Acid treatment alleviated chilling injury, reduced electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde content and increased proline content. Our result suggest that the reduce activity of PLD and LOX, by Salicylic Acid may be a chilling tolerance strategy in tomato fruit. Inhibition of PLD and LOX activity during low temperature storage could ameliorate chilling injury and oxidation damage and enhance membrane integrity in tomato fruit.

impact of Salicylic Acid on post harvest physiology of horticultural crops
Trends in Food Science and Technology, 2010Co-Authors: M R Asghari, Morteza Soleimani AghdamAbstract:Salicylic Acid (SA), an endogenous plant growth regulator, has been found to generate a wide range of metabolic and physiological responses in plants thereby affecting their growth and development. SA as a natural and safe phenolic compound exhibits a high potential in controlling post-harvest losses of horticultural crops. In the present review, we have focused on various intrinsic biosynthetic pathways and effects of exogenous Salicylic Acid on post-harvest decay and disease resistance, oxidative stress, fruit ripening, ethylene biosynthesis and action, fruit firmness, respiration, antioxidant systems and nutritional quality have also been discussed.

nanogram amounts of Salicylic Acid produced by the rhizobacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa 7nsk2 activate the systemic acquired resistance pathway in bean
Molecular Plant-microbe Interactions, 1999Co-Authors: Geert De Meyer, Jean-pierre Métraux, Kristof Capieau, Kris Audenaert, A J Buchala, Monica HofteAbstract:Root colonization by specific nonpathogenic bacteria can induce a systemic resistance in plants to pathogen infections. In bean, this kind of systemic resistance can be induced by the rhizobacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7NSK2 and depends on the production of Salicylic Acid by this strain. In a model with plants grown in perlite we demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7NSK2-induced resistance is equivalent to the inclusion of 1 nM Salicylic Acid in the nutrient solution and used the latter treatment to analyze the molecular basis of this phenomenon. Hydroponic feeding of 1 nM Salicylic Acid solutions induced phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in roots and increased free Salicylic Acid levels in leaves. Because pathogen-induced systemic acquired resistance involves similar changes it was concluded that 7NSK2-induced resistance is mediated by the systemic acquired resistance pathway. This conclusion was validated by analysis of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in roots and of Salicylic Acid levels in leaves of soil-grown plants treated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The induction of systemic acquired resistance by nanogram amounts of Salicylic Acid is discussed with respect to long-distance signaling in systemic acquired resistance.
