The antimicrobial activity of two cyanobacterial exometabolites, norharmane (9H-pyrido(3,4-b)indole) and 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, was determined in suspension assays. Good anticyanobacterial activities (concentrations of 8-80 microg ml(-1)) and moderate antibacterial (16-160 microg ml(-1)) and antifungal (32-40 microg ml(-1)) activities were found for both

The color of mammalian skin is determined by many factors, for which visible ones are the degree and distribution of melanin pigmentation. Because tyrosinase, (polyphenol oxidase) is the key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, the use of various tyrosinase inhibitors is

Biphenyl metabolism in Aspergillus toxicarius occurs by successive hydroxylations in the 4- and 4'-positions, followed by conjugation with sulfate to produce 4-hydroxybiphenyl-O-sulfonic acid and 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl-O-sulfonic acid. The hydroxylation reactions normally occur only after a prolonged lag period after which the

In our previous study, we showed that 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl (44'-BP) reduced melanin content via the inhibition of tyrosinase. In the current study, we utilized 44'-BP treated B16 melanoma cells (B16 cells) to measure several key cellular parameters known to be involved
