Abstract
Triclosan (TCS) is a synthetic, chlorinated phenolic antimicrobial agent commonly used in commercial and healthcare products.
Items made with TCS include soaps, deodorants, shampoos, cosmetics, textiles, plastics, surgical sutures, and prosthetics. A
wealth of information obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies has demonstrated the therapeutic effects of TCS, particularly
against inflammatory skin conditions. Nevertheless, extensive investigations on the molecular aspects of TCS action have
identified numerous adversaries associated with the disinfectant including oxidative injury and influence of physiological
lifespan and longevity. This review presents a summary of the biochemical alterations pertaining to TCS exposure, with special
emphasis on the diverse molecular pathways responsive to TCS that have been elucidated during the present decade.
