Oxyresveratrol and Hydroxystilbene Compounds INHIBITORY EFFECT ON TYROSINASE AND MECHANISM OF ACTION

TLDR
The depigmenting effect of oxyresveratrol works through reversible inhibition of tyrosinase activity rather than suppression of the expression and synthesis of the enzyme.

Role of Resveratrol in Prevention and Therapy of Cancer: Preclinical and Clinical Studies

TL;DR: In vivo, resveratrol blocks the multistep process of carcinogenesis at various stages: it blocks carcinogen activation by inhibiting aryl hydrocarbon-induced CYP1A1 expression and activity, and suppresses tumor initiation, promotion and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Updated Review of Tyrosinase Inhibitors

TL;DR: This article surveys tyrosinase inhibitors newly discovered from natural and synthetic sources and the inhibitory strength is compared with that of a standard inhibitor, kojic acid, and their inhibitory mechanisms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical and Instrumental Approaches to Treat Hyperpigmentation

TL;DR: This review describes the different approaches to obtain depigmentation, suggests a classification of whitening molecules on the basis of the mechanism by which they interfere with melanogenesis, and confirms the necessity to apply standardized protocols to evaluate depigmenting treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypopigmenting agents: an updated review on biological, chemical and clinical aspects

TL;DR: An overview of agents causing hypopigmentation in human skin is presented and it is suggested that Mammalian skin or at least keratinocytes/melanocytes co-cultures should be preferred rather than pure melanocyte cultures or soluble tyrosinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive review on tyrosinase inhibitors.

TL;DR: This review has focused on the tyrosinase inhibitors discovered from all sources and biochemically characterised in the last four decades.

Cancer Chemopreventive Activity of Resveratrol, a Natural Product Derived from Grapes

TL;DR: It is suggested that resveratrol, a common constituent of the human diet, merits investigation as a potential cancer chemopreventive agent in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological effects of resveratrol.

TL;DR: Resveratrol has been shown to modulate the metabolism of lipids, and to inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and the aggregation of platelets, and may play a role in the prevention of human cardiovascular diseases.

Biological mediators of insect immunity

TL;DR: A component of insect immune responses to bacteria is the synthesis by fat body and hemocytes of a variety of antibacterial proteins and peptides, which are secreted into the hemolymph.

Inhibition of carcinogenesis by dietary polyphenolic compounds

TL;DR: This chapter reviews the inhibition of tumorigenesis by phenolic acids and derivatives, tea and catechins, isoflavones and soy preparations, quercetin and other flavonoids, resveratrol, and lignans as well as the mechanisms involved based on studies in vivo and in vitro.

Cyclic AMP a Key Messenger in the Regulation of Skin Pigmentation

TL;DR: It appears that melanogenic gene expression is controlled by a complex network of regulation involving other transcription factors such as Brn2, TBX2, PAX3 and SOX10, which would finally allow a fine tuning of melanocyte differentiation leading to melanin synthesis.
