Efficient Bioproduction of Mycosporine-2-glycine, Which Functions as Potential Osmoprotectant, using Cells

Natural Product Communications, 2017
Mycosporine-2-glycine (M2G) is known to be synthesized in halotolerant cyanobacterium Aphanothece halophytica. Escherichia coli cells in which the M2G synthetic genes of A. halophytica were introduced could synthesize M2G.

Advances in organic UV filters for sunscreens over the past decade

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Highlighted organic UV filter frameworks that have been described for sunscreens over the past decade divided into three groups: derivatives of or inspired by approved organic UV filters, natural product‐based compounds, and miscellaneous. Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental factor in photoaging, erythema, and skin cancer ...
