Shinorine(CAT: I036299) is a natural mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) known for its potent ultraviolet (UV) radiation-absorbing properties. It functions by absorbing harmful UV-A and UV-B rays, thereby preventing oxidative stress and DNA damage in cells. Shinorine exhibits strong antioxidant activity, making it a valuable compound in dermatological research for developing photoprotective agents and skincare formulations. Its natural UV-screening capability is of interest for creating safer, eco-friendly sunscreens and exploring protective strategies against UV-induced skin aging and cancer. Shinorine serves as a promising model for studying cellular defense mechanisms against environmental stressors.
