Abstract
Thymol, chemically known as 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol is a colorless crystalline monoterpene phenol. It is one of the most important dietary constituents in thyme species. For centuries, it has been used in traditional medicine and has been shown to possess various pharmacological properties including antioxidant, free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antispasmodic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and antitumor activities. The present article presents a detailed review of the scientific literature which reveals the pharmacological properties of thymol and its multiple therapeutic actions against various cardiovascular, neurological, rheumatological, gastrointestinal, metabolic and malignant diseases at both biochemical and molecular levels. The noteworthy effects of thymol are largely attributed to its anti-inflammatory (via inhibiting recruitment of cytokines and chemokines), antioxidant (via scavenging of free radicals, enhancing the endogenous enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants and chelation of metal ions), antihyperlipidemic (via increasing the levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and decreasing the levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in the circulation and membrane stabilization) (via maintaining ionic homeostasis) effects. This review presents an overview of the current in vitro and in vivo data supporting thymol's therapeutic activity and the challenges concerning its use for prevention and its therapeutic value as a dietary supplement or as a pharmacological agent or as an adjuvant along with current therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases. It is one of the potential candidates of natural origin that has shown promising therapeutic potential, pharmacological properties and molecular mechanisms as well as pharmacokinetic properties for the pharmaceutical development of thymol.

Andersen A. Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Sodium p -Chloro- m -Cresol, p -Chloro- m -Cresol, Chlorothymol, Mixed Cresols, m -Cresol, o -Cresol, p -Cresol, Isopropyl Cresols, Thymol, o -Cymen-5-ol, and Carvacrol1. Int J Toxicol 2016; 25 Suppl 1:29-127.

Abstract
Sodium p -Chloro- m -Cresol, p -Chloro- m -Cresol (PCMC), Mixed Cresols, m -Cresol, o -Cresol, p -Cresol, Isopropyl Cresols, Thymol, Chlorothymol, o -Cymen-5-ol, and Carvacrol are substituted phenols used as cosmetic biocides/preservatives and/or fragrance ingredients. Only PCMC, Thymol, and o -Cymen-5-ol are reported to be in current use, with the highest concentration of use at 0.5% for o -Cymen-5-ol in perfumes. The use of PCMC in cosmetics is restricted in Europe and Japan. Cresols can be absorbed through skin, the respiratory tract, and the digestive tract; metabolized by the liver; and excreted by the kidney as glucuronide and sulfate metabolites. Several of these cresols increase the dermal penetration of other agents, including azidothymidine. In acute oral toxicity studies, LD50 values were in the 200 to 5000 mg/kg day-1 range across several species. In short-term studies in rats and mice, an o -Cresol, m -Cresol, p -Cresol or m -Cresol/ p -Cresol mixture at 30,000 ppm in the diet produced increases in liver and kidney weights, deficits in liver function, bone marrow hypocellularity, irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and nasal epithelia, and atrophy of female reproductive organs. The no observed effect levels (NOEL) of o -Cresol was 240 mg/kg in mink and 778 mg/kg in ferrets in short-term feeding studies, with no significant dose-related toxicity (excluding body weight parameters). In mice, 0.5% p -Cresol, but neither m -Cresol nor o -Cresol, caused loss of pigmentation. Short-term and subchronic oral toxicity tests performed with various cresols using mice, rats, hamsters, and rabbits resulted in no observed adverse effect levels (NOAELs) for mice of 625 ppm and rats of 50 mg/kg day -1, although the NOEL was 2000 ppm ina chronic study using rats. In rabbits, 160 mg/kg PCMC was found to produce irritation and erythema, but no systemic effects. Hamsters dosed with 1.5% p -Cresol in diet for 20 weeks had a greater incidence of mild and moderate forestomach hyperplasia as compared to the control. Acute inhalation toxicity studies using rats yielded LC50 values ranging from > 20 mg/m3 for o -Cresol to > 583 mg/m3 for PCMC. No deaths were recorded in mice given o -Cresol at 50 mg/m3. Cats exposed (short-term) to 9 to 50 mg/m3 of o -Cresol developed inflammation and irritation of the upper respiratory tract, pulmonary edema, and hemorrhage and perivascular sclerosis in the lungs. Rats exposed (subchronic) to o -Cresol at 9 mg/m3 had changes in leukocytes, spinal cord smears, nervous activity, liver function, blood effects, clinical signs, and neurological effects. In guinea pigs, exposure to 9 mg/m3 produced changes in hemoglobin concentrations and electrocardiograms (EKGs). Rats exposed (subchronic) to 0.05 mg/m3 Mixed Cresols by inhalation exhibited central nervous system (CNS) excitation, denaturation of lung protein, and decreased weight gain. All cresols appear to be ocular irritants. Numerous sensitization studies have been reported and most positive reactions were seen with higher concentrations of Cresol ingredients. Developmental toxicity is seen in studies of m -Cresol, o -Cresol, and p -Cresol, but only at maternally toxic levels. In a reproductive toxicity study of a mixture of m -Cresol and p -Cresol using mice under a continuous breeding protocol, 1.0% caused minimal adult reproductive and significant postnatal toxicity in the presence of systemic maternal toxicity. The o -Cresol NOAEL was 0.2% for both reproductive and general toxicity in both generations. Cresol ingredients were generally nongenotoxic in bacterial, fruit fly, and mammalian cell assays. Thymol did not induce primary lung tumors in mice. No skin tumors were found in mice exposed dermally to m -Cresol, o -Cresol, or p -Cresol for 12 weeks. In the tryphan blue exclusion assay, antitumor effects were observed for Thymol and Carvacrol. Clinical patch testing with 2% PCMC may produce irritant reactions, particularly in people with multiple patch test reactions, that are misinterpreted as allergic responses. o -Cresol, p -Cresol, Thymol, Carvacrol, and o -Cymen-5-ol caused no dermal irritation at or above use concentrations. In two predictive patch tests, PCMC did not produce a sensitization reaction. Overall, these ingredients are not significant sensitizing or photosensitizing agents. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel noted some of these ingredients may increase the penetration of other cosmetic ingredients and advised cosmetic formulators to take this into consideration. The CIR Expert Panel concluded that the toxic effects of these ingredients are observed at doses higher than would be available from cosmetics. A concentration limitation of 0.5% was chosen to ensure the absence of a chemical leukoderma effect. For p -Cresol and Mixed Cresols (which contain p -Cresol), the Panel considered that the available data are insufficient to support the safety of these two ingredients in cosmetics. Studies that would demonstrate no chemical leukoderma at concentrations of use of p -Cresol and Mixed Cresols, or would demonstrate a dose response from which a safe concentration could be derived, are needed.

Abstract
The interactions between lipids and the mutagenic active metabolite of 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) and 3-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2), were studied. Oleic acid showed an inhibitory effect on the formation of this active metabolite mainly by inhibition of hepatic microsomal oxidation systems. On the other hand, microsomal lipids from rat liver and commercial pig liver lecithin diminished the amount of N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 without inhibiting the metabolism of Trp-P-2. The direct reaction of these lipids with N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 was disclosed by experiments using N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 and lipids without microsomes. Furthermore, the participation of lipid peroxides in this reaction was suggested by a linear relationship between the concentrations of the conjugated diene of lipids and the disappearance of N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2. When [3H]N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 was incubated in the presence of pig liver lecithin, the polar products which were not formed in the incubation without lipids were newly detected by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis.

Abstract
Purified NADPH-cytochrome c reductase of rabbit liver microsomes was examined to determine whether or not the reported low lipid peroxidation activity of rabbit liver microsomes is due to the enzyme, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. NADPH-cytochrome c reductase was purified from phenobarbital-treated rabbit liver microsomes to a specific activity of 14.9 to 21.4 unit per mg of protein with a yield of 15.2 to 16.4%. The purified sample (21.4 unit/mg of protein) was almost homogenous as determined by sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis. This sample was used for determining lipid peroxidation activity. EDTA and ferrous ion but not ADP were essential requirements for the activity. FMN enhanced the activity when low concentrations of the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase were used for the assay. NADP and 2'-AMP, which are inhibitors of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, inhibited the lipid peroxidation activity. a-Tocopherol and p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) also inhibited the activity. From these results, we confirmed the rabbit liver microsomal enzyme NADPH-cytochrome c reductase plays a role in lipid peroxidation activity. The reported low lipid peroxidation activity in rabbit liver microsomes does not appear to be caused by the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase.
