The expanding roles of 1-methyl-tryptophan (1-MT): in addition to inhibiting kynurenine production, 1-MT activates the synthesis of melatonin in skin cells

TL;DR: It is reported that melatonin biosynthesis is driven by 1‐methyl‐tryptophan (1‐MT), a competitive inhibitor of IDO1, in human fibroblasts, melanocytes and melanoma cells, and it was observed that 1‐MT, as well melatonin, inhibited the proliferation of human melanomas cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The first pacifastin elastase inhibitor characterized from a blood sucking animal.

TL;DR: This work purified and characterized, for the first time, two neutrophil elastase inhibitors belonging to the pacifastin family from the blood sucking insect Triatoma infestans eggs, and is the first to characterize a blood feeding insect pacifASTin inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosynthesis of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in a melanoma cell line and its metabolization by peroxidases.

TL;DR: A possible alternative metabolic pathway for DMT involving peroxidases that has not previously been described in humans is described and DMT and metabolites in a melanoma cell line are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
