Metabolic pathways of eicosanoids—derivatives of arachidonic acid and their significance in skin by Michał Biernacki, Elżbieta Skrzydlewska

“…Phospholipids are subject to continuous transformation, including enzymatic hydrolysis (with the participation of phospholipases A, C, and D) to free polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which under the influence of cyclooxygenases (COX1/2), lipoxygenases (LOXs), and cytochrome P450 (CYPs P450) are metabolized to various classes of oxylipins, depending on the type of PUFA being metabolized and the enzyme acting. The most frequently analyzed oxylipins, especially in skin cells, are eicosanoids, which are derivatives of arachidonic acid (AA). …”

Microscopic Mechanism of the Interaction in the Adsorption of Caramel Pigments onto Rosin-Based Decolorizing Resin for Sugar by WEI Yanhong, WANG Jiaxin, JIAO Li, LIAO Chunyu, LEI Fuhou, LI Wen

“…The interaction mechanism was primarily mediated by the electrophilic reaction between carboxylate and protonated tertiary amine groups, followed by weak hydrogen bonding, with the resin acting as a hydrogen bond donor. The combined use of multiple quantum chemical theory calculations to visualize the micro-mechanism of the adsorption interaction can provide novel insights into exploring the adsorption behavior and mechanism at a deeper level, which has a theoretical contribution and practical value.…”
