4-Butylresorcinol /Rucinol with Cas 18979-61-8
What is 4-Butylresorcinol?
4-Butylresorcinol, also known as Rucinol, is an effective ingredient in various cosmetics that can inhibit melanin production. Tyrosinase plays a crucial role in melanin production as it controls the rate of melanin deposition. 4-Butylresorcinol has an inhibitory effect on melanin production by directly suppressing the activity of tyrosinase and inhibiting the synthesis of tyrosinase in B16 melanoma cells, without causing any cytotoxicity.
Mechanism action of 4-Butylresorcinol:
- Before melanin synthesis, interfere with the synthesis and glycosylation of tyrosinase to prevent the enzyme from being absorbed by melanocytes
- During melanin synthesis, inhibition of enzyme activity acts as a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase and TRP1 enzymes, reducing the formation of byproducts that promote melanin production.
- After the synthesis of melanin, it enhances tyrosinase degradation, inhibits the transfer of melanocytes to keratinocytes, and has a light stripping effect due to the action of fatty acids. This function is strengthened by the presence of fatty acids and regulates tyrosinase degradation
