Antioxidative, Anti-Inflammatory, and Anti-Aging Properties of Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids: Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms in the Protection of Skin-Aging [PDF]
Mar Drugs, 2019 Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes photoaging of the skin and induces a number of disorders, including sunburn, fine and coarse wrinkles, and skin cancer risk.

Exploring the Blueprint of Photoprotection in Mycosporine-like Amino Acids [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2021 Microorganisms require protection against the potentially damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation exposure. Photoprotection is, in part, provided by mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). Previous reports have proposed that nonradiative decay mediates the impressive photoprotection abilities of MAAs.

Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids for Skin Photoprotection. [PDF]
Curr Med Chem, 2018 Background: Excessive human exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) continues to be a major public health concern, with skin cancer rates increasing year on year. The major protective measure is the use of synthetic UVR filters formulated into sunscreens, but there is a growing concern that some of these chemicals cause damage to delicate ...

Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids from Coral Dinoflagellates [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACT Coral reefs are one of the most important marine ecosystems, providing habitat for approximately a quarter of all marine organisms. Within the foundation of this ecosystem, reef-building corals form mutualistic symbioses with unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium ...

Packaging of mycosporine-like amino acids in dinoflagellates [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2004 Synthesis of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) can significantly protect phyto- plankton cells against damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation, depending on the concentration, type and cellular distribution of these UV sunscreens. We addressed the hypothesis that MAAs are concen- trated around UV-sensitive organelles for improved efficiency, thereby ...
