Tyrosinase (TYR) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of melanin, while direct TYR inhibitors are a class of important clinical antimelanoma drugs. This study established a spectrum-effect relationship analysis method and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis method to

We synthesized benzoate ester derivatives of kojic acid with and without adamantane moiety. Benzoate derivatives 2a-e that did not contain an adamantane moiety showed potent tyrosinase inhibitory activities. However, depigmenting activity was not noted in a cell-based assay. Contrasting results

In this study we investigated the inhibitory effects and possible mechanisms of action of 8'-hydroxydaidzein and 3'-hydroxydaidzein, two ortho-dihydroxyisoflavone derivatives from Korean fermented soybean paste, on melanogenesis in B16 murine melanoma cells. The two hydroxydaidzeins reduced melanin synthesis comparably to
