Abstract: | Phenolic lipids are a very diversified group of compounds derived from mono and dihydroxyphenols, i.e., phenol, catechol,
resorcinol, and hydroquinone. Due to their strong amphiphilic character, these compounds can incorporate into erythrocytes
and liposomal membranes. In this review, the antioxidant, antigenotoxic, and cytostatic activities of resorcinolic and other
phenolic lipids are described. The ability of these compounds to inhibit bacterial, fungal, protozoan and parasite growth
seems to depend on their interaction with proteins and/or on their membrane-disturbing properties. |
