In vitro Effects of the Methanolic Leaf Extract of Otholobium fruticans in Murine B16 Melanoma Cells: Implications for the Treatment of Skin Hyperpigmentation
Abstract:Hyperpigmentation is a cosmetically important skin disorder which commonly affects the face and neck regions and impacts negatively on the self-esteem of affected persons. Most of the current treatment agents for hyperpigmentation are cosmetic additives and prescription medications which generally act to suppress melanogenesis. However, many of these products are known to have limited effectiveness, deleterious side effects, and induce adverse reactions especially after prolonged use, hence safe and efficaciou… Show more
“…Therefore, this concentration was safe for normal HaCaT cells. 41 The methanol extract of Platycodon grandiflorum has been found to inhibit melanogenesis by significantly suppressing tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner, surpassing the efficacy of arbutin. Additionally, the methanol extract of P. gradiflorum exhibited a relatively strong total antioxidant capacity, which also increased in a dose-dependent manner.…”
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, there is an increasing demand for skin-whitening products that prioritize health, safety, and efficacy. Therefore, the development of...
