Kurarinol is a potent inhibitor of sortase A, with an IC50 value of 107.7 ± 6.6 μM. Kurarinol has extremely strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity, exerts varying degrees of inhibition on tyrosinase-dependent melanin biosynthesis, is a candidate as skin-whitening agents.
Oxyresveratrol-3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside shows tyrosinase inhibitory activity, it may be a potential candidate as skin-whitening agents without posing any serious side effects.
6-Prenylapigenin(4',5,7-Trihydroxy-6-prenylflavone) shows potent inhibitory activity on melanin formation, it may be potential sources for skin whitening agents. It also shows moderate cytotoxicities against breast cancer (MDA-MB-435S) and lung adenocarci
Cryptomeridiol is a potential skin-whitening agent, exhibits melanogenesis inhibitory activity on α-MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells. Cryptomeridiol has low activity against A. niger, T. mentagrophytes, and C. albicans. (-)-Cryptomeridiol also exhibits a significant and concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on PAF receptor binding, with inhibitory concentration (IC)(50) values of 17.5 uM.
Glyasperin C acts as a partial estrogen antagonist, it shows tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC (50) = 0.13 +/- 0.01 microg/mL), it could be a promising candidate in the design of skin-whitening agents. Glyasperin C shows potent anti-vancomycin-resistant
