- W1996039087 abstract "A fundamental unsettled issue concerning eumelanins, the functional biopolymers of human skin and hair, is why they are black. The experimental difficulty lies in the virtual insolubility of these pigments, causing marked scattering effects and hindering characterization of the intrinsic absorption properties of the heterogeneous species produced by oxidative polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and related monomer precursors. The synthesis of spectrally robust, water-soluble DHI polymers is therefore an important goal in the prospects of disentangling intrinsic absorption properties of eumelanin components by circumventing scattering effects. Reported herein is the first water-soluble DHI polymer produced by oxidation of ad hoc designed 5,6-dihydroxy-3-indolyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside (1). The dark brown polymer exhibited a distinct band at 314 nm and a broad visible absorption, resembling that of natural eumelanins. Main isolable oligomer intermediates including 2,7′- and 2,4′-biindolyls 2 and 3, attest the close resemblance to the mode of coupling of the parent DHI. Sodium borohydride reduction caused decoloration and a marked absorbance decrease in the visible region around 550 nm, but did not affect the UV band at 314 nm. Measurements of absorbance variations with dilution indicated a linear response at 314 nm, but a significant deviation from linearity in the visible region, with the largest decrease around 500 nm. It is argued that eumelanin black color is not only intrinsically defined by the overlap of π-electron conjugated chromophores within the individual polymer components, as commonly believed, but also by oxidation state- and aggregation-dependent interchromophoric interactions causing perturbations of the heterogeneous ensemble of π-electron systems and overall spectral broadening." @default.
