Investigation for inhibitory effect Uca triangularis extracts

Melanogenesis inhibitory effect of fatty acid alkyl esters isolated from Oxalis triangularis.

Ten fatty acid alkyl esters isolated from Oxalis triangularis, were evaluated for the effects on melanogenesis using mouse B16 melanoma cells. Treatment of methyl linoleate, methyl linolenate, ethyl linoleate and ethyl linolenate significantly blocked forskolin-induced melanogenesis and inhibited tyrosinase activity. In addition, we found that they inhibited cAMP production, suggesting that the...
