Investigations into Chemical Components from Monascus purpureus with Photoprotective and Anti-Melanogenic Activities

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Monascus species are asexually or sexually reproduced homothallic fungi that can produce a red colorant, specifically the so-called red yeast rice or Anka, which is used as a food ingredient in Asia. Traditional experiences of using Monascus for treating

Stereodivergent, Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Azaphilone Natural Products

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
Selective access to a targeted isomer is often critical in the synthesis of biologically active molecules. Whereas small-molecule reagents and catalysts often act with anticipated site- and stereoselectivity, this predictability does not extend to enzymes.
