Article Synopsis
- Melanogenesis is the process of melanin production, essential for skin pigmentation, and its dysregulation can lead to issues like hyperpigmentation disorders.
- A new extract, (1'S, 2'S)-syringyl glycerol 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (compound 5), showed significant anti-melanogenic effects, reducing melanin synthesis by about 36% and tyrosinase activity by over 48%.
- The study suggests that compound 5 influences key signaling pathways related to melanin production, making it a viable option for treating hyperpigmentation issues.
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, there is an increasing demand for melanin-inhibiting products that prioritize health, safety, and efficacy. Therefore, the development of natural products that can safely and efficiently inhibit melanin synthesis is of great social significance and has significant market potential. In this paper, by reviewing the literature reported in recent years, we summarized the natural products with inhibition of melanin synthesis effects that have been put into or not yet put into the market, and classified them according to the chemical groups of their compounds or the extraction methods of the natural products.
