Inhibitory Effects of Esculetin on Melanin Biosynthesis
To investigate the structure-activity relationship of coumarins for the inhibitory activity on mushroom tyrosinase, the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 values) of 18 coumarins and four cinnamic acid derivatives were measured. Among these compounds, esculetin had the strongest inhibitory activity (IC50=43 microM) on mushroom tyrosinase.
