Sunscreen In A Pill

A secret from the sea could lead to a pill that prevents sunburn. British researchers have uncovered the unique way coral shields itself against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. They believe the discovery could pave the way for a sunscreen revolution with a tablet that protects both skin and eyes.

Scientists are close to producing a synthetic anti-sun compound based on those found in coral. If the research progresses as hoped, the first sunscreen pill could become a reality in five years. Such a product may have to be on prescription only to prevent people overdosing and harming their health. Some skin reaction to UV is vital for the production of vitamin D. Too much sun protection can lead to vitamin D deficiency, resulting in weak bones.

Coral is an animal that only survives because of the algae living within it. The mutually dependent relationship between the two organisms is the key to coral sun protection. Dr Paul Long, who is heading the three-year project at King's College London, said: "What we have found is that the algae living within the coral makes a compound that we think is transported to the coral, which then modifies it into a sunscreen for the benefit of both the coral and the algae.
