Novel compounds able to absorb UV radiation and comprise antimicrobial properties as well. The compounds are novel and undisclosed scytonemin analogs, able to absorb up to 90% of UV-A radiation and can cover a broader UV to blue light absorption range from 293 nm to 500 nm. When mixtures of more than one compound are used, their synergetic absorption properties can cover an even broader spectrum within 293 nm to 500 nm. The compounds present faint coloration, and some are even colorless, therefor the present compounds can be easily incorporated in formulations to be used in cosmetic products, sunscreens or lenses for sunglasses.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining the renal glomerular filtration rate or assessing the renal function in a patient in need thereof. The system includes a computing device, a power supply, one or more sensors, and at least one tracer agent that fluoresces when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic radiation is detected using the sensors, and the rate in which the fluorescence decreases in the patient is used to calculate the renal glomerular filtration rate in the patient.

Disclosed are HPTS series derivatives and a synthesis method thereof, belonging to the field of organic synthesis. The HPTS series derivatives are prepared by introducing alkylamine or alcohol into sulfonic acid groups of HPTS. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: subjecting HPTS and phosphorus oxychloride to heating and reflux reaction for 12 hours under catalysis of DMF to obtain a reaction product; introducing the reaction product into ice water, stirring, precipitating solid, and performing suction filtration to obtain HPTS-SO.sub.2Cl; dissolving the HPTS-SO.sub.2Cl in tetrahydrofuran to prepare solution A, and dissolving alkylamine or alcohol in tetrahydrofuran to prepare solution B; mixing the solution A with the solution B and then reacting for 24 hours at normal temperature, obtaining a product by rotary evaporation, and obtaining a pure compound after separation through columns. The derivatives have strong fat solubility, overcome the defect of a very strong water solubility.
