Abstract
A new UV‐filter compound, 4‐(2‐amino‐3‐hydroxyphenyl)‐4‐oxobutanoic acid O‐glucoside, has been identified in human lenses. The structure suggests that it is derived biosynthetically from tryptophan. Quantification studies on the new compound show that it is the second‐most abundant UV‐filter compound in the lens with an absorption and fluorescence spectrum similar to that of 3‐hydroxykynurenine glucoside.
