Sageretia thea fruit extracts rich in methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate downregulate melanogenesis via the Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Sageretia thea is traditionally used as a medicinal herb to treat various diseases, including skin disorders, in China and Korea. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of Sageretia thea fruit on melanogenesis and its underlying mechanisms in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. The active chemical compounds in anti-melanogenesis were determined in Sageretia thea. MATERIALS/...

Mutagenicity tests of lipid oxidation products in Salmonella typhimurium: monohydroperoxides and secondary oxidation products of methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate.

Nine hydroperoxy and hydroperoxy-epidioxy oxidation products derived from either autoxidation (AO) or photosensitized oxidation (PO) of methyl linoleate (MLo) or methyl linolenate (MLn) were tested for mutagenic activity by the Salmonella typhimurium his+ reversion assay using strains TA100, TA98, TA102, TA97 and TA1537. All nine oxidation products, monohydroperoxides from AO-MLn (I) or from PO...

Oxidation Kinetics of Methyl Linoleate and α-Linolenate in Bulk and Oil-in-water Emulsion Systems

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...

Characterization by NMR of Ozonized Methyl Linoleate

No presente estudo o linoleato de metila ozonizado com índice de peróxidos de 1.800 mmol-equiv. kg foi caracterizado quimicamente. Os efeitos do ozônio sobre o linoleato de metila produz hidroperóxidos, ozonideos e aldeídos, os quais foram identificados por técnicas de ressonância magnética nuclear de H e C, monoe bidimensional. O linoleato de metila padrão e o linoleato de metila ozonizado mos...
