Recent advances in the chemistry of melanins have begun to disclose a number of important structure-property-function relationships of crucial relevance to the biological role of human pigments, including skin (photo) protection and UV-susceptibility. Even slight variations in the monomer composition of black eumelanins and red pheomelanins have been shown to determine significant differences in light absorption, antioxidant, paramagnetic and redox behavior, particle morphology, surface properties, metal chelation and resistance to photo-oxidative wear-and-tear. These variations are primarily governed by the extent of decarboxylation at critical branching points of the eumelanin and pheomelanin pathways, namely the rearrangement of dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), and the rearrangement of 5-S-cysteinyldopa o-quinoneimine to 1,4-benzothiazine (BTZ) and its 3-carboxylic acid (BTZCA). In eumelanins, the DHICA-to-DHI ratio markedly affects the overall antioxidant and paramagnetic properties of the resulting pigments. In particular, a higher content in DHICA decreases visible light absorption and paramagnetic response relative to DHI-based melanins, but markedly enhances antioxidant properties. In pheomelanins, likewise, BTZCA-related units, prevalently formed in the presence of zinc ions, appear to confer pronounced visible and ultraviolet A (UVA) absorption features, accounting for light-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, whereas non-carboxylated benzothiazine intermediates seem to be more effective in inducing ROS production by redox cycling mechanisms in the dark. The possible biological and functional significance of carboxyl retention in the eumelanin and pheomelanin pathways is discussed. 相似文献

The chemical structure of synthetic humic acid or synthetic melanin, obtained by oxidative polymerization of hydroquinone or para-benzoquinone in alkali solutions was determined by means of elemental analysis, 1H NMR, electronic and FTIR spectroscopies, and by high temperature zinc dust treatment. The shiny black material obtained was proved to be a poly(hydroxyhydro-quinone-co-hydroxybenzoquinone) having the monomeric units connected at the ortho position and hence having a poly(ortho-phenylene) backbone instead of the other possible structure with a poly(para-phenylene) backbone. The chemical similarity between this synthetic humic acid and natural humic acids and natural melanins is discussed. © 1998 SCI. 相似文献

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is implicated in many types of skin damage, such as photodermatoses, photoageing, erythema, pigmentation, skin cancer etc. Free radicals and reactive oxygen species are considered to play an important role in cutaneous photocarcinogenesis. But skin is endowed with photoprotective agents, namely melanins and antioxidant enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. In this study we describe the in vivo electron spin resonance (ESR) signals of melanins after UVR exposure, using skin specimens of various types of mice, which were taken from different parts of their bodies. The ESR signals were used as a model for testing the antioxidant properties of butylated hydroxyanisole, tocopherol acetate, and octyl p -methoxycinnamate with butyl methoxy dibenzoyl methane and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Additional UVB radiation was applied to the skin samples in situ (in the cavity of the ESR spectrometer). Suppression of ESR signals of melanins was observed in all cases.
