Mycosporin-like Amino Acids (MAA) analytical standards
Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids (MAAs): Nature’s UV Shields for Scientific Breakthroughs.
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are water-soluble, low-molecular-weight compounds produced by marine organisms, algae, and cyanobacteria. These molecules act as natural sunscreens, absorbing harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation (310–360 nm) to protect cells from photodamage.
Their unique structure provide exceptional photostability and antioxidant properties. MAAs are increasingly studied for applications in cosmetics, dermatology, and nutraceuticals, where UV protection and anti-aging effects are in high demand
World first standards of Shinorine and Porphyra 334.
Extrasynthese is proud to announce a world first: the commercial release of analytical standards for Shinorine and Porphyra-334, two of the most prominent MAAs. These high-purity standards enable researchers to accurately quantify, identify, and study these compounds in environmental, biological, and industrial applications.
With these new standards, Extrasynthese supports advancements in skincare innovation, coral reef protection, and human health research. Our commitment to quality and scientific progress ensures that your work benefits from reliable, traceable, and precisely characterized reference materials.
Discover our MAAs standards and our expertise in algae metabolites chemistry. We also can supply MMAs enriched biomass for bioactivity studies.
Do not hesitate to ask for custom development of reference materials: phytochemicals or botanicals
