Chemical Structure
Scytonemin
- CAS No.: 152075-98-4
- Formula:C36H20N2O4
- Molecular Weight:544.56
IUPAC Name: 3,3'-bis((Z)-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-[1,1'-bi(cyclopenta[b]indole)]-2,2'(3H,3'H)-dione
InChIKey: CGZKSPLDUIRCIO-MFYXSQMNSA-N
SMILES: O=C(/C1=C\C2=CC=C(O)C=C2)C(C(C(/C3=C\C4=CC=C(O)C=C4)=O)=C5C3=NC6=C5C=CC=C6)=C7C1=NC8=C7C=CC=C8
Biological Activity: Scytonemin is a hydrophobic alkaloid pigment that can be isolated from the outer sheath of cyanobacteria. Scytonemin has protective function against short-wave solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the formation of DNA damage. Scytonemin also has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities, produces concentration-dependent inhibition (IC50=2.0 μM) of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1)-mediated cdc25C phosphorylation, and plays an important role in regulating the G2/M transition in the cell cycle. It can be used in the research of cancer, acute inflammation and sunscreen cosmetics[1][2][3][4][5].
