Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Study of Ferrociphenol as an Antimelanogenic Agent. [PDF]
Biochem Res IntCutaneous hyperpigmentation disorders are associated with abnormal accumulation of melanin pigments, which can be treated using depigmenting agents. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ferrociphenol (Fc‐diOH), an organometallic intermediate used in the synthesis of hydroxy‐ferrocifen derivatives and previously reported as a tyrosinase ...
