A novel 2,18-bridged biliverdin derivative

open access: yes, 1993
Base-catalysed dehydrohalogenation of a 3,18-bis(2-ohloroethyl)biliverdin 1 affords a novel 3-vinylbiliverdin 3 in which the 2- and 18-positions are bridged with a propano-tether; the structure of 3 has been established using single crystal X-ray and 1H ...

Physiological antioxidative network of the bilirubin system in aging and age-related diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Oxidative stress is detrimental to life processes and is particularly responsible for aging and age-related diseases. Thus, most organisms are well equipped with a spectrum of biological defense mechanisms against oxidative stress.

Biliverdin Reductase-A correlates with inducible nitric oxide synthasein in atorvastatin treated aged canine brain.

open access: yes, 2013
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and neuropathology. Recent preclinical and epidemiological studies proposed statins as a possible therapeutic drug for Alzheimer's disease, but the ...

A substrate-bound structure of cyanobacterial biliverdin reductase identifies stacked substrates as critical for activity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Biliverdin reductase (BVR) catalyses the last step in haem degradation. Here the authors present the crystal structure of cyanobacterial BVR bound to its substrate biliverdin and oxidised cofactor NADP+, which was used to propose the catalytic mechanism ...

Bile pigments in pulmonary and vascular disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
The bile pigments, biliverdin and bilirubin, are endogenously-derived substances generated during enzymatic heme degradation. These compounds have been shown to act as chemical antioxidants in vitro. Bilirubin formed in tissues circulates in the serum,

Multiple origins of green coloration in frogs mediated by a novel biliverdin-binding serpin

open access: yes, 2020
Many vertebrates have distinctive blue-green bones and other tissues due to unusually high biliverdin concentrations—a phenomenon called chlorosis. Despite its prevalence, the biochemical basis, biology, and evolution of chlorosis are poorly understood ...

Preparation of Bilirubin Through the Biotransformation of Biliverdin Using Whole Cells of Recombinant Yeast

open access: yes
Bilirubin is a key component in the preparation of two traditional Chinese medicines: Calculus bovis sativus and Calculus bovis artifactus. Currently, industrial-scale production of bilirubin is limited to extraction from pig bile in a very low yield and
