Effects of phenolic constituents of Luffa cylindrica on UVB-damaged mouse skin and on dome formation by MDCK I cells

We showed that Luffa cylindrica extract prevented transepidermal water loss in UVB-irradiated hairless mice. Phenolic constituents were detected in L. cylindrica by high-performance liquid chromatography, and 12 phenylpropanoids were isolated and confirmed by NMR and negative-ion mode mass spectrosc...
