Title N-trans-feruloyltyramine as a melanin biosynthesis inhibitor.
Journal Biol Pharm Bull
Abstract In this study, we examined the effect of N-trans-feruloyltyramine (FA) on melanogenesis in mouse B16 melanoma cells. Melanogenesis was inhibited by FA in a dose-dependent manner. FA exhibited a greater potency than kojic acid as a standard inhibitor of melanogenesis. Moreover, treatment of B16 melanoma cells with FA was found to cause marked decreases in the expression levels of tyrosinase. FA-induced downregulation of tyrosinase resulted in suppression of melanin biosynthesis in murine B16 melanoma cells.
