) is well known depigmenting agent that is used to reduce melanin content by inhibition of tyrosinase. Although hydroquinone exhibits highly potent depigmenting activity, its application in cosmetics isrestricted because of its severe side effects such as melanocyte destruction, irritative dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. To over-come this disadvantage, its glycoside derivative, arbutin

Structural criteria for depigmenting mechanism of arbutin

The depigmenting mechanism of arbutin previously reported is supportable if a cofactor is not available in the melanocytes, and the combination with l‐ascorbic acid is a useful application, particularly when oxygen is limited.

Synthesis of New Anti-melanogenic Compounds Containing Two Molecules of Kojic Acid

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme, which catalyzes two distinct reactions of melanin synthesis, the hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-dopa and the oxidation of L-dopa to dopaquinone. These…

Abstract Two kojic acid derivatives (2a and 2b) containing phenolic hydroxy groups were synthesized. The preparation was carried out by the reaction of a kojic acid derivative (3) having a…

Development of an in vitro primary screen for skin depigmentation and antimelanoma agents.

All of the compounds identified as active in this primary screen were cytotoxic or cytostatic to melanocytes, except for the methyl ester of gentisic acid, which uniquely inhibited the de novo synthesis of melanin without cytotoxicity.

Tyrosinase and related proteins in mammalian pigmentation

Selective cytotoxicity of hydroquinone for melanocyte-derived cells is mediated by tyrosinase activity but independent of melanin content.

The results reported here support the hypothesis put forward by other workers that hydroquinone melanotoxicity is independent of cellular melanin content but requires the presence of active tyrosinase.

Chemical and instrumental approaches to treat hyperpigmentation.

This review describes the different approaches to obtain depigmentation, suggests a classification of whitening molecules on the basis of the mechanism by which they interfere with melanogenesis, and confirms the necessity to apply standardized protocols to evaluate depigmenting treatments.
