Abstract
A new UV-filter compound, 4-(2-amino-3-hydroxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid O-glucoside, has been identified in human lenses. The structure suggests that it is derived biosynthetically from tryptophan. Quantification studies on the new compound show that it is the second-most abundant UV-filter compound in the lens with an absorption and fluorescence spectrum similar to that of 3-hydroxykynurenine glucoside.Entities:
