EXPRESSION OF ICAM-1 ANTIGEN AND FAS ANTIGEN ON KERATINOCYTES AFTER SALYCUMINOL TREATMENT

4-Isopropylbenzyl, Alkyl-iso-C10, 2-Hydroxybenzoate (Salycuminol)1 has an antiinflammatory activity after topical administration. Aim of this work was to evaluate whether it interferes with ICAM-1 and FAS antigens expression on keratinocytes. The results show that Salycuminol doesn’t affect the membrane expression of these markers. These data suggest that such molecule doesn’t alter the role of keratinocytes in inflammatory processes.
