Assessing the phytotoxicity of cetrimonium bromide in plants using eco-physiological parameters [PDF]

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2016
Although cetrimonium bromide is widely used for its bactericidal effects, the safety of cetrimonium bromide remains controversial. Therefore, the phytotoxicity of cetrimonium bromide was tested to evaluate its acute toxicity to plants and possible toxicity to other organisms and the ecosystem.

Solid Shampoo Is Mostly Not Preserved, in Contrast to Liquid Shampoos Used in Hairdressing—A Market Survey in Four European Countries

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Most solid shampoos (68.6%) did not contain preservatives according to Annex V of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009), while all liquid shampoos did. The number of preservatives used was significantly greater in liquid shampoos. ABSTRACT Background Hairdressers are frequently exposed to shampoos, both from neat liquid products and dilutions ...

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

Identification of cetrimonium bromide and irinotecan as compounds with synthetic lethality against NDRG1 deficient prostate cancer cells [PDF]

Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2013
The N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has been identified as a metastasis-suppressor gene in prostate cancer (PCa). Compounds targeting PCa cells deficient in NDRG1 could potentially decrease invasion/metastasis of PCa. A cell based screening strategy was employed to identify small molecules that selectively target NDRG1 deficient PCa cells. DU-
