Pterin-Based Red Coloration Predicts the Outcome of Male–Male Competition in Guinan Toad-Headed Lizard [PDF]
AnimalsAnimal coloration offers a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity. Conspicuous coloration caused by pigments plays a crucial role in social signaling across multiple species by conveying information ...

Inactivation of tyrosinase photoinduced by pterin
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2012 Tyrosinase catalyzes in mammals the first and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of the melanin, the main pigment of the skin. Pterins, heterocyclic compounds able to photoinduce oxidation of DNA and its components, accumulate in the skin of patients suffering from vitiligo, a chronic depigmentation disorder in which the protection against UV ...

Pterin-based pigmentation in animals [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2021 Pterins are one of the major sources of bright coloration in animals. They are produced endogenously, participate in vital physiological processes and serve a variety of signalling functions. Despite their ubiquity in nature, pterin-based pigmentation has received little attention when compared to other major pigment classes.

Exploring the scope of DBU-promoted amidations of 7-methoxycarbonylpterin
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2020 The synthetic utility of pterins is often hampered by the notorious insolubility of this heterocycle, slowing the development of medicinally relevant pteridine derivatives.
