Substantial evidence for the rhododendrol-induced generation of hydroxyl radicals that causes melanocyte cytotoxicity and induces chemical leukoderma [PDF]
Rhododendrol (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanol) has been used as a lightening/whitening cosmetic but was recently reported to induce leukoderma. Although rhododendrol has been shown to be transformed by tyrosinase to hydroxyl-rhododendrol, which is cytotoxic to melanocytes, its detailed mechanism of action including the involvement of reactive oxygen ...

Apricot kernels contain amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside that degrades to cyanide upon chewing or crushing, posing a potential toxicity risk to humans. The present study aimed to determine the phenolic compounds and to evaluate the subacute and acute toxicity of the aqueous extract of bitter apricot kernels (BAKs) in Swiss albino mice.

Tyrosinase Inhibition and Antimelanogenic Effects of Resorcinol‐Containing Compounds
Resorcinol‐based compounds stand out as key inhibitors of tyrosinases (TYR) owing to their phenolic group's interaction with the dicopper centre and their ability to resist TYR‐mediated oxidation. While some well‐known examples are employed in dermatocosmetics and skin‐whitening products, this review covers the broader diversity of scaffolds, including

Chemical leukoderma to hydroquinone: A rare phenomenon
Chemical leukoderma is characterized by the development of acquired vitiligo-like hypo- to depigmented macules due to persistent or negligent chemical use. Sulfhydryl and potent phenol/catechol compounds are included in the etiology. The incidence of chemical leukoderma has been increasing in developing countries like India due to inadequate monitoring

Genetic insights into Tietz albinism‐deafness syndrome: A new dominant‐negative mutation in MITF
We uncovered a previously unreported c.637G>C (p.Glu213Gln) mutation in the MITF in a patient with Tietz albinism‐deafness syndrome (TADS), elucidating its genetic and clinical significance. The combined results from histopathological examination, transmission electron microscopy analysis, and melanin quantification underscored the substantial ...
