Indikace, možné benefity a výzkum
Cosmetics
- Claimed to be effective in the preservations of cosmetics [6]
- Lactoperoxidase, glucose, glucose oxidase (GOD), iodide and thiocyanate
Pyrotechnika
- Mercury(II) thiocyanate
- Was formerly used in pyrotechnics [4]
Applications
- Preserving food
- Cosmetics
- Ophthalmic solutions
- Dental and wound treatment
- Anti-tumor
- Anti viral agents [6]
Detekce cobaltu(II)
- Co2+ gives a blue complex with thiocyanate
- Iron and cobalt complexes can be extracted into organic solvents like
- Diethyl ether
- Amyl alcohol
- This allows the determination of these ions even in strongly coloured solutions [4]
The determination of Co(II) in the presence of Fe(III)
- Possible by adding KF to the solution
- Forms uncoloured, very stable complexes with Fe(III)
- no longer react with SCN- [4]
- Phospholipids or some detergents
- Aid the transfer of thiocyanatoiron into chlorinated solvents like
- Chloroform
- Can be determined in this fashion [4]
Dairy products
- Used as an antibacterial agent in reducing bacterial microflora in milk and milk products
Activation of the lactoperoxidase system
- By addition of
- hydrogen peroxide
- Thiocyanate
- Extends the shelf life of refrigerated raw milk
- Fairly heat resistant
- Used as an indicator of overpasteurization of milk [6]
Tedy pokud se příliš mléko vaří, tak asi klesá aktivita ?
Má to na zdraví lidí spíše pozitiva nebo negativa ?
Test for iron(III)
- The blood-red colored complex [Fe(NCS)(H2O)5]2+ (left)
- Presence of Fe3+ in solution [4]
- If [SCN]- is added to a solution with iron(III) ions
- Blood-red solution forms
- Mainly due to the formation of
- [Fe(SCN)(H2O)5]2+ = pentaaqua(thiocyanato-N)iron(III)
- Lesser amounts other hydrated compounds
- Fe(SCN)3
- [Fe(SCN)4]- [4]
Oral Care
- Appropriate for the treatment of gingivitis and paradentosis
- Used in toothpaste or a mouthrinse to reduce oral bacteria and acid produced by those bacteria [6]
- Tooth pastes
- Mouth rinses containing
- Amyloglucosidase (gamma-amylase)
- And glucose oxidase
- Activate the lactoperoxidase system
- Lysozyme, lactoperoxidase and glucose oxidase
- Are transferred from the tooth pastes to the pellicle
- Enzymes are catalytically highly active
- Lactoperoxidase system
- Beneficial influence to avoid early childhood caries
- By reducing the number of colonies formed by the cariogenic microflora
- While increasing the thiocyanate concentration
Xerostomia patients
- Tooth pastes with the lactoperoxidase system
- Seemingly superior to fluoride-containing tooth pastes
- With respect to plaque formation and gingivitis
- More studies are required
- Combination with lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase + lactoferrin and lysozyme
- Helps to improve symptoms of xerostomia
Gingivitis, periodontitis
Burning mouth syndrome (glossodynia)
- Combination of lysozyme and lactoperoxidase
- Can be applied to support the treatment
Halitosis
- Combination with lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase + lactoferrin and lysozyme
- Helps to improve symptoms of xerostomia
Oral cancer
- Gels with lactoperoxidase
- Help to improve symptoms when saliva production is compromised due to irradiation
- Also the oral bacterial flora are influenced favorably [6]
