Melanins, a group of dark insoluble pigments found widespread in nature, have become the
focus of growing interest in materials science for various biomedical and technological …

Bioinspired nanomaterials are ideal components for nanomedicine, by virtue of their
expected biocompatibility or even complete lack of toxicity. Natural and artificial melanin …

The addition of thiol compounds to o-quinones, as exemplified by the biologically relevant
conjugation of cysteine to dopaquinone, displays an anomalous 1, 6-type regiochemistry …

The hydrothiolation of activated alkynes is presented as an attractive and powerful way to
functionalize thiols bearing catechols. The reaction was promoted by a heterogeneous …

We report the first total synthesis of racemic Odontosyllis undecimdonta luciferin, a thieno [3,
2-f] thiochromene tricarboxylate comprising a 6-6-5-fused tricyclic skeleton with three sulfur …

A unique feature of nanoparticles for bio-application is the ease of achieving multi-
functionality through covalent and non-covalent functionalization. In this way, multiple …

The control of surface wettability with polyphenol coatings has been at the forefront of
materials research since the late 1990s, when robust underwater adhesion was linked to the …

Herein, we report a bioinspired approach to the synthesis of 1, 4-benzothiazines by drawing
inspiration from the biosynthesis of pheomelanin pigments (pheomelanogenesis). In this …

The protocol of aerobic oxidative dehydroxycyclization installed in the synthesis of rarely
studied 1-hydroxyphenothiazines from catechols and o-mercaptoanilines is presented …

Novel catechol thio-ethers with different heterocyclic substituents at sulfur atom were
prepared by reacting 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-6-methoxymethylcatechol with functionalized thiols …
