“…Initially, snails were used only as a food source, but in some snail farms, during the harvesting process, which involved the cleaning and manual handling of the animals, the skin was observed to be soft after being in contact with the snail secretion. Moreover, small cuts healed quickly, without infection or scarring [34]. This evidence has prompted some researchers to better analyze snail mucus to understand this interesting property.…”

Many substances derived from animals are used as ingredients in the cosmetic industry and constitute a particular type of product: zooceuticals. The main ingredients used can come from insects, such as snail slime; land animals, such as lanolin; and marine animals, such as marine collagen. Today, they are used less than in the past for hygienic–sanitary, ethical, and ecological reasons. Moreover, some can give rise to irritative or allergic dermatitis. However, they still represent a fraction of the common ingredients in certain types of cosmetic products today.

Phyllocaulis boraceiensis mucus is known to be a compound capable of inducing cell proliferation and enhancing the wound healing process. The process of angiogenesis is a chain of mechanisms responsible for the formation of new vessels, which are are involved in cell proliferation, and factors that will act in the healing process. Our aim was to demonstrate that the angiogenesis process is enhanced in cultures of endothelial cells and fibroblasts treated with P. boraceiensis mucus. Experiments were carried out with 10 5 cellsÁmL À1 of endothelial cells and fibroblasts treated with P. boraceiensis mucus in concentrations that have significant effects in proliferation assays, i.e. 0.012 lgÁlL À1 and 0.18 lgÁlL À1 , both of which cause extreme responses. Aliquots of 100 lL of cell suspensions were incubated for 1 h at 4°C with 1 lL of antibodies specific for the cell markers vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 and cluster of differentiation 34, and negative isotype controls. Reading and expression analysis of cell markers was performed on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer. Expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 and cluster of differentiation 34 expression were significantly increased in endothelial cells cultivated with 0.012 lgÁlL À1 P. boraceiensis mucus, suggesting that this compound is capable of enhancing angiogenesis.
