ABSTRACT

The inhibitory effects of solvent extracts of 75 plants on melanin biosynthesis were investigated. Amongst the plant extracts, CHCl3 fraction of Juncus effusus, H2O fraction of Eupatorium chinensis, BuOH fraction of Veratrum patulum, Hexane fraction of Chionanthus retusa, and Hexane fraction of Sophora japonica showed a significant mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory effects with above 80% at 100 ㎍/㎖. Among these, BuOH fraction of Veratrum patulum will be studied further to elucidate the structure and chemical properties of the active compound responsible for melanin biosynthesis inhibitory action.
