Immunomodulatory Effects of the Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids Shinorine and Porphyra-334 [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2016 Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are secondary metabolites, produced by a large variety of microorganisms including algae, cyanobacteria, lichen and fungi. MAAs act as UV-absorbers and photo-protectants.

Nrf2 and NF-κB Signaling Pathways Contribute to Porphyra-334-Mediated Inhibition of UVA-Induced Inflammation in Skin Fibroblasts [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2015 In this study, we examined the protective effects of porphyra-334 against UVA-irradiated cellular damage and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. Porphyra-334 prevented UVA-induced cell death and exhibited scavenging activities against intracellular ...

Porphyra-334 isolated from the marine algae Bangia atropurpurea: conformational performance for energy conversion. [PDF]
Mar Drugs, 2014 Prophyra-334 (p-334) may play a role of energy transfer under an uncertain mechanism, and we speculate the possible model. Via 1D and 2D NMR experiments, it was simulated the correlation between dissociation and conformation of p-334.

Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Effects of Porphyra-334 Produced from <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> in Human Skin Models. [PDF]
Mar DrugsPorphyra-334 (PPR-334) is one of the species of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), known as biological UV protection ingredients. In this study, we developed a large-scale purification process to extract PPR-334 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and ...

Direct Evidence of Microbial Sunscreen Production by Scum-Forming Cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepWe found both culture‐independent and culture‐dependent evidence for the widespread production of mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) in blooms of cyanobacteria from the Baltic Sea. Using a combination of bioinformatics, microbial genetics, and mass spectrometry, we demonstrated the high‐level production of these microbial sunscreens in members of the ...
