CAS 79-14-1: Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that is used as a chemical peeling agent for the treatment of hyperkeratotic skin disorders. This product has been shown to inhibit the transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in maternal blood, which may be due to its ability to form glycolate from glucose and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Glycolic acid inhibits the production of malonic acid by inhibiting the enzyme malonate decarboxylase, which converts malonic acid into succinic acid. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to an accumulation of intracellular glycolate and increased levels of succinic acid in cells. Glycolic acid also inhibits dapagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-dependent glucose transport proteins, suggesting that it may have pharmacological effects on diabetes mellitus. Glycolic acid binds with fatty acids by forming ester bonds, thereby preventing them from being incorporated into

Glycolic acid is a chemical compound that is used in the treatment of certain skin conditions, such as acne. It is also used as an active ingredient in some facial peels. Glycolic acid has been shown to have beneficial effects on autoimmune diseases by inhibiting the production of glycoproteins and enzymes that are involved in inflammation. Glycolic acid has been studied extensively as a potential treatment for geriatric patients with depression-related dementia or Alzheimer's disease. This drug can be applied topically to the skin, or taken orally as a medication. The mechanism of action is not well understood, but it may involve inhibition of dapagliflozin, which enhances the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and prevents phosphorylation and activation of glycogen synthase (GS). Glycolic acid has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and increase cellular physiology by increasing ATP synthesis. It can also be applied topically to

Glycolic acid is used for acne and anti-aging treatment. It is also employed in the textile industry as a dyeing and tanning agent. It is used in emulsion polymers, solvents and additives for ink and paints. It is also useful as an intermediate for organic synthesis such as redox reactions, esterification and long chain polymerization. It acts as a monomer in the preparation of polyglycolic acid and other biocompatible copolymers. Further, it is used as a preservative and flavoring agent in organic synthesis. It is also used in adhesives and plastics. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
