Intrinsically Bioactive Manganese–Eumelanin Nanocomposites Mediated Antioxidation and Anti‐Neuroinflammation for Targeted Theranostics of Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2022
Overproduced reactive oxygen species and the induced oxidative stress and neuroinflammation often result in secondary injury, which is associated with unfavorable prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Co-Assembly of Colloids and Eumelanin Nanoparticles in Droplets for Structural Pigments with High Saturation.

Small, 2021
Colloidal crystals have been used to develop structural colors. However, incoherent scattering causes the colors to turn whitish, reducing the color saturation. To overcome the problem, light-absorbing additives have been incorporated.

Redox chemistry in eumelanin

2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz), 2019
Eumelanin is a perspective conductive biomolecular material, which has already been used for making various bioelectronic devices ranging from transistors to batteries. It is known that its conductivity mechanisms are governed by a redox comproportionation reaction.

Determination of eumelanin in human urine

Pigment Cell Research, 2006
SummaryNormal and malignant melanocytes produce melanins and melanin‐related metabolites, most of which are retained in the cells but some are secreted into the blood and then excreted in the urine. In this study, we developed a method to measure levels of eumelanin in urine samples and evaluated its clinical significance in comparison with the melanin‐

Fluorescence spectroscopy of eumelanins

IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 1984
The fluorescence spectra from different forms of melanin, excited by an argon-ion laser at 488 nm wavelength were measured. The fluorescence intensity and maxima were found to be dependent on the melanin concentration. The location of the fluorescence maxima depends on the type of melanin and its environment.

Eumelanin-like Poly(levodopa) Nanoscavengers for Inflammation Disease Therapy.

Biomacromolecules
In the current years, polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) have been extensively investigated as an eumelanin mimic. However, unlike natural eumelanin, PDA NPs contain no 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA)-derived units and may be limited in ...

Sub-50 fs Formation of Charge Transfer States Rules the Fate of Photoexcitations in Eumelanin-Like Materials.

Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters
Eumelanins play a crucial role as photoprotective agents for living organisms, yet the nature of the stationary and transient species involved in the light absorption and deactivation processes remains controversial.

Reexamination of the structure of eumelanin

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1986
The generally accepted concept that the black melanin eumelanin is made mostly from 5,6-dihydroxyindole but not from 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHIC) was reexamined by comparison of synthetic and natural eumelanins. The analytical methods used were elemental analysis and determination of the carboxyl group by acid treatment to yield CO2 and

Energetics of Radical Formation in Eumelanin Building Blocks: Implications for Understanding Photoprotection Mechanisms in Eumelanin

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2016
The supramolecular structure of melanin pigments is characterized by a high concentration of radical species. Therefore, the energetics of the radical formation in melanin building blocks is key for understanding the structure and the electronic properties of the pigments at the molecular level. Nevertheless, the radical energetics of even the simplest
