Research Excerpts

Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" We found that under the usual conditions of the biological assay, the apparent cytotoxicity of the two indoles reflect their instability in the culture medium, the less stable DHI being generally more toxic than DHICA to melanoma cells and nonmelanocytic cells."( The inherent cytotoxicity of melanin precursors: a revision.
Aroca, P; Hearing, VJ; Mascagna, D; Palumbo, A; Prota, G; Tsukamoto, K; Urabe, K, 1994
)
0.29
" In the light of a report about cytotoxicity of DHI, the aim of this study was to assess possible toxic effects of DHI on cells related to the eye, such as human ARPE-19 cells and mouse retinal explants."( Melanin precursor 5,6-dihydroxyindol: protective effects and cytotoxicity on retinal cells in vitro and in vivo.
Bartz-Schmidt, KU; Blitgen-Heinecke, P; Heiduschka, P; Hofmeister, S; Julien, S; Kokkinou, D; Schraermeyer, U; Tura, A, 2007
)

" Taken together, these data showed that proPO activation and DHI production is strongly toxic against various pathogens but can also damage host tissues and cells if not properly controlled."( Antiviral, anti-parasitic, and cytotoxic effects of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI), a reactive compound generated by phenoloxidase during insect immune response.
Jiang, H; Lu, Z; Strand, MR; Zhao, P, 2011
