Microscale Thermophoresis as a Screening Tool to Predict Melanin Binding of Drugs

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2020
Interactions between drugs and melanin pigment may have major impacts on pharmacokinetics. Therefore, melanin binding can modify the efficacy and toxicity of medications in ophthalmic and other disease of pigmented tissues, such as melanoma.

Oral Actinomyces Species Exposure is Associated with Anxiety‐Like Behavior, Mitochondrial Remodeling, and Altered GABAergic Pathways

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral exposure to cannabis‐associated Actinomyces species, particularly A. meyeri, is associated with anxiety‐like behavior in mice in the absence of detectable bacterial translocation or overt systemic inflammation. These findings support a potential oral‐brain metabolic axis involving candidate metabolites such as arginine and argininosuccinate ...

Photoelectrochemical properties of melanin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Melanin is to the animal kingdom like chlorophyll to the vegetal kingdom(1). Melanin collects energy from lower-energy radiation sources, kicks electrons into excited states, initiating a process that would end up producing chemical energy, similar to ...

Melanin-Like Nanoquencher on Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanosheets for Tyrosinase Activity and Inhibitor Assay

open access: yes, 2016
Graphitic C3N4 (g-C3N4) nanosheets are a type of emerging graphene-like carbon-based nanomaterials with high fluorescence and large specific surface areas that hold great potential for biosensor applications. However, current g-C3N4 based biosensors have

In Vivo Nb4C3Tx MXene‐Assisted Photothermal Therapy of Melanoma in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Nb4C3Tx MXene converts pulsed 1064 nm irradiation into localized heat, producing concentration‐ and time‐dependent melanoma cell killing in vitro and suppressing tumor growth in mice. Histology reveals extensive tumor damage, macrophage‐associated material clearance, and no detectable persistent deposits in examined visceral organs, supporting Nb4C3Tx ...

Cuttlefish Ink Melanin Encapsulated in Nanolipid Bubbles and Applied Through a Micro-Needling Procedure Easily Stains White Hair Facilitating Photoepilation

open access: yes, 2016
[EN] Background: Photothermolysis of unwanted hair depends on the presence of melanin in the hair follicle as the chromophore, but is not effective in patients with non-pigmented, melanin-sparse hair shafts and follicles.

Melanin production from marine Streptomyces

open access: yes, 2013
Melanin pigments are frequently used in medicine, food and cosmetic preparations. In this study, three strains among 21 Actinomycetes sp isolates produced a diffusible dark pigment on starch casein an agar medium which was water soluble.

Melanin-binding radiopharmaceuticals [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
The scope of this paper is limited to an analysis of the factors that are important to the relationship of radiopharmaceuticals to melanin. While the authors do not attempt to deal with differences between melanin-binding vs.
