Quantitative Determination of Alkaloids in Lotus Flower (Flower Buds of Nelumbo nucifera) and Their Melanogenesis Inhibitory Activity.
A quantitative analytical method for five aporphine alkaloids, nuciferine (1), nornuciferine (2), N-methylasimilobine (3), asimilobine (4), and pronuciferine (5), and five benzylisoquinoline alkaloids, armepavine (6), norarmepavine (7), N-methylcoclaurine (8), coclaurine (9), and norjuziphine (10), identified as the constituents responsible for the melanogenesis inhibitory activity of the extra...
متن کاملAntioxidant activities of various extracts of lotus (Nelumbo nuficera Gaertn) rhizome.
Lotus rhizome powder was extracted with solvents of different polarities. Antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by a 2, 2'-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and a beta-carotene bleaching assay, and compared with that of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and ascorbic acid. Methanol showed the highest extract yield among all of solvents. Although acetone extract had the highest tot...
متن کاملMelanogenesis by human uveal melanocytes in vitro.
PURPOSE To study melanogenesis by cultured human uveal melanocytes, and the relationship between melanin production by uveal melanocytes in vitro with the degree of iris pigmentation in vivo. METHODS Melanin content, melanin production, and tyrosinase activity of cultured uveal melanocytes derived from eyes of various iris color were measured at different stages of cultivation. RESULTS Cult...
متن کاملFluphenazine and Perphenazine Impact on Melanogenesis and Antioxidant Enzymes Activity in Normal Human Melanocytes
Fluphenazine and perphenazine as a phenothiazine-class antipsychotic drugs are widely used to treat psychoses and schizophrenia, however their use is associated with significant side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms as well as ocular and skin disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of fluphenazine and perphenazine on cell viability, melanogenesis and antioxidant defens...
متن کاملModulation of Melanogenesis by Heme Oxygenase-1 via p53 in Normal Human Melanocytes
As a key regulator of melanogenesis, p53 controls microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and tyrosinase expression. The anti-oxidant enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is induced by various forms of cellular stress and diverse oxidative stimuli. However, few studies have examined the role of HO-1 in melanogenesis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the role of HO-1 in ...
