:cis-Urocanic acid
Description:
Cis-Urocanic acid is an organic compound characterized by its structure as a derivative of urocanic acid, specifically in its cis configuration. It is a naturally occurring amino acid metabolite, primarily found in the skin, where it plays a role in the photoprotection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The compound is known for its ability to absorb UV light, which helps in preventing skin damage. Cis-Urocanic acid is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits weak acidic properties due to the presence of a carboxylic acid group. Its molecular structure includes an imidazole ring, contributing to its biological activity and interaction with various cellular processes. In addition to its photoprotective role, cis-urocanic acid has been studied for its potential immunomodulatory effects, influencing skin immune responses. The compound is of interest in dermatological research and cosmetic formulations aimed at enhancing skin protection and health.
