[EN] Oxidative damage to proteins leads to a variety of modifications that are markers of pathogenesis. One of the most important modifications is the dityrosine (Tyr(2)) cross-link, resulting from an oxidative covalent ...

[EN] Photolabile protecting groups (PPGs) have been exploited in a wide range of chemical and biological applications, due to their ability to provide spatial and temporal control over light-triggered activation. In this ...

The interaction of the enantiomers of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug naproxen (NPX) with human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated using fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy in the steady-state ...

[EN] The main goal of the present work was to investigate the damages photoinduced by pterin (Ptr), an endogenous photosensitizer present in human skin under pathological conditions, on a globular protein such as ubiquitin ...

[EN] Imatinib is a synthetic tyrosinase inhibitor that is employed for the treatment of some kinds of human cancer. This drug has a low phototoxicity towards DNA, but its pyridylpyrimidine (1) fragment by itself exhibits ...

[EN] Interaction of nucleic acids with light is a scientific question of paramount relevance not only in the understanding of life functioning and evolution, but also in the insurgence of diseases such as malignant skin ...

[EN] The photochemical properties of itraconazole (1), a broad-spectrum antifungal agent, have been investigated in connection with reported skin photosensitivity disorders. Steady state photolysis, fluorescence and ...

[ES] La radiación ultravioleta está asociada a la formación de ciertas lesiones en el ADN que están en el origen del cáncer de piel. Entre las más relevantes se encuentran los daños que se producen en las bases pirimidínicas: ...

[EN] Using a sunscreen-based photocage, we have demonstrated that it is possible to prevent photodegradation of a bioactive compound and to achieve its controlled photorelease. The concept has been proven linking avobenzone, ...

[EN] The photochemistry of the DNA biomacromolecule is an issue of paramount importance as it is part of the etiology of skin cancer development, being ultraviolet sunlight radiation the most relevant environmental carcinogen. ...
