Abstract

Regulation of collagen synthesis and Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression levels has been an important issue in medicinal, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Herein, α-Resorcylic acid-phenylalanine amide (α-RA-F) was prepared and its biological activities were observed. We found that α-RA-F boosted collagen synthesis and reduced MMPs expression levels in human fibroblasts without cytotoxicity.

Keywords
