A novel application for a compound called ML233 has shown promising results for inhibiting melanin production, offering ...

Tyrosinase is found in melanocytes, which are specialized skin cells that produce the ultraviolet absorbing pigment, melanin. In the presence of sunlight, tyrosinase stimulates melanin production.

"Our findings suggest that ML233 directly interacts with the active site of tyrosinase, inhibiting its function and ultimately reducing melanin synthesis," Madelaine said. "This mechanism ...

Ligustroside significantly reduced intracellular tyrosinase activity and melanin content by 37.11% ... element-binding protein (CREB) signaling pathways. Ligustroside also suppressed the nuclear ...

When the skin is exposed to UV radiation, melanin production is stimulated in melanocytes, with tyrosinase playing a key role in the biosynthetic pathway. However, disruptions in this pathway ...
