Antioxidant, antimutagenic, tanning and calpain induction activities of methanolic extract of Tunisian plant (Moricandia arvensis)
In this study, we investigate the potential of Moricandia arvensis methanol leaf extract (MeOHL) on calpain activity, melanin biosynthesis and DNA mutagenicity. Cytotoxic effect and measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by lucigenin in colorectal cells (BE) were also determined. In addition the chemical analysis of the extract was also studied and the chemical profile illustrates...

متن کاملEffect of ultraviolet on the distribution pattern of microfilaments and microtubules and on the nucleus in human melanocytes.
Increased melanin pigmentation which occurs after exposure of human skin to sunlight or to ultraviolet light (uv) from artificial sources is familiarly known as "tanning." Tanning of the skin involves two distinct biological phenomena (1) immediate tanning (IT), (sometimes called immediate pigment-darkening reaction), and (2) delayed tanning (DT). IT is optimally produced by both long uv (320-3...
متن کاملArdisia crenata extract stimulates melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells through inhibiting ERK1/2 and Akt activation.
Melanin protects the skin against ultraviolet radiation by scattering incoming light and absorbing diverse free radicals. Agents that increase melanin synthesis in melanocytes may reduce the risk of photodamage and skin cancer. The present study investigated the effect of a methanol extract of Ardisia crenata (AC) on melanogenesis in B16F10 cells. Treatment of cultured B16F10 cells with AC extr...
متن کاملPratol, an O-Methylated Flavone, Induces Melanogenesis in B16F10 Melanoma Cells via p-p38 and p-JNK Upregulation.
Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme critical for melanin synthesis. It controls pigmentation in the skin. Activation of tyrosinase is currently the most common approach in the development of tanning and haircare products. Pratol is a 7-hydroxy-4-methoxyflavone found in Trifoliumpratense. In this study, we investigated the effects of pratol on melanogenesis. We also studied the mechanism of a...
