Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, lipophilicity and biological evaluation of indole-containing derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole
Athanasia Varvaresou,Th. Siatra‐Papastaikoudi,Andrew Tsotinis,Anna Tsantili-Kakoulidou,Alexandre Vamvakides +4 more
TL;DR: Behavior effects, induced by the members of both series, in conjunction with their activity in some specific tests (forced swim, pentetrazole convulsions) on mice, show that these derivatives cross the blood-brain barrier and could develop an antidepressant activity comparable to that of imipramine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosurfactants in cosmetics and biopharmaceuticals.
TL;DR: The current status of research and development on rhamnolipids, sophorolipid, mannosyloerythritol lipids, trehalipids and lipopeptides particularly their commercial application in cosmetics and biopharmaceuticals, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-preserving cosmetics.
Athanasia Varvaresou,Spyros Papageorgiou,E. Tsirivas,Evangelia Protopapa,H. Kintziou,Vasiliki Kefala,Costas Demetzos +6 more
TL;DR: The application of the basic principles of ‘Hurdle Technology’ in the production of self‐preserving cosmetics and Multifunctional antimicrobial ingredients and plant‐derived essential oils and extracts that are used as alternative or natural preservatives and are not listed in Annex VI of the Cosmetic Directive are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worldwide actions against plastic pollution from microbeads and microplastics in cosmetics focusing on European policies. Has the issue been handled effectively
Lamprini Anagnosti,Athanasia Varvaresou,Panagoula Pavlou,Evangelia Protopapa,Vilelmine Carayanni +4 more
TL;DR: A thorough literature review on the presence of microbeads in cosmetics up to date is offered, focusing primarily on the actions against their use, and questioning whether future pollution from micro beads or/and microplastics in cosmetics has been successfully handled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and biological evaluation of indole containing derivatives of thiosemicarbazide and their cyclic 1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole analogs.
Athanasia Varvaresou,Anna Tsantili-Kakoulidou,Theodora Siatra-Papastaikoudi,Ekaterini Tiligada +3 more
TL;DR: Structural-activity relations show a remarkably similarity in the antimicrobial and antifungal behaviour of the thiosemicarbazides and their cyclic triazo-thien-5-yl analogs, while alpha-naphtyl substitution in the non indolic portion of the molecule is favorable.
