“…Arbutin exhibits several pharmacological effects, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, antihyperglycaemic, antitumor, alpha-amylase inhibitory and tyrosinase inhibitor (Taha et al, 2012;Migas and Krauze-Baranowska, 2015;Jurica et al, 2017;Ahmadian et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2019). It is reported that arbutin ester derivatives displayed higher biological activity than the precursor compounds (Tokiwa et al, 2007;Chigorimbo-Murefu et al, 2009;Watanabe et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2014). For example, 6 -Ocaffeoylarbutin showed a twice-higher antimelanin activity and twice-lower toxicity than those of arbutin (Xu et al, 2014).…”
