Tyrosinase Substrates (2):

Cat. No. Product Name Effect Purity
  • HY-W015782
    4-Ethylresorcinol
    		Substrate 99.71%
    4-Ethylresorcinol is a derivative of resorcinol and can serve as a substrate for tyrosinase. 4-Ethylresorcinol has anti-hyperpigmentation and antioxidant effects and can inhibit melanin synthesis. 4-Ethylresorcinol has potential whitening value.
  • HY-W129441
    N-Acetyl-4-S-cysteaminylphenol
    		Substrate
    N-Acetyl-4-S-mercaptoaminophenol (N-Ac-4-S-CAP) is a compound that is selectively cytotoxic to melanocytes of black mouse hair follicles. It can cause 98% depigmentation of black mouse hair follicles. N-Ac-4-S-CAP can produce visible changes in hair follicle melanocytes 4 hours after intraperitoneal injection, including aggregation of melanin granules and nuclear condensation. Electron microscopy observations showed that it caused progressive destruction of melanocytes, including swelling of membranous organelles, nuclear condensation, and cytoplasmic vacuolation, ultimately leading to complete cell necrosis. N-Ac-4-S-CAP has a specific cytotoxic effect on melanocytes that actively produce eumelanin, but may not affect precursor or dormant melanocytes. These properties suggest that N-Ac-4-S-CAP may have potential application value in the treatment of melanoma or skin whitening.
