A Blue Zinc Complex of a Dioxobilin‐Type Pink Chlorophyll Catabolite Exhibiting Bright Chelation‐Enhanced Red Fluorescence

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 2021, Issue 20, Page 1904-1912, May 26, 2021., 2021
A pink phyllobilin from breakdown of chlorophyll in fall leaves is effectively a tridentate ligand for a zinc(II) ion, furnishing an optically active blue zinc(II) complex that emits bright chelation‐enhanced red fluorescence. Computational studies based on DFT‐calculations have helped to characterize the structures of this complex in methanol and ...

Transport and metabolism at blood-brain interfaces and in neural cells: relevance to bilirubin-induced encephalopathy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Bilirubin, the end-product of heme catabolism, circulates in non pathological plasma mostly as a protein-bound species. When bilirubin concentration builds up, the free fraction of the molecule increases.

In Search of Bioactivity – Phyllobilins, an Unexplored Class of Abundant Heterocyclic Plant Metabolites from Breakdown of Chlorophyll

open access: yesIsrael Journal of Chemistry, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 420-431, May 2019., 2019
Abstract The fate of the green plant pigment chlorophyll (Chl) in de‐greening leaves has long been a fascinating biological puzzle. In the course of the last three decades, various bilin‐type products of Chl breakdown have been identified, named phyllobilins (PBs).
