THE INHIBITION OF HYALURONIDASE BY SODIUM SALICYLATE AND ITS POSSIBLE METABOLITES

Abstract
It has been shown that salicylic acid and gentisic acid, a substance formed in the organism from salicylic acid, have no influence on the activity of hyaluronidase in vitro. However carboxy-p-benzoquinone, the quinone corresponding to gentisic acid, was found to inhibit the enzyme in vitro.
