Orcinol (3,5-Dihydroxytoluene) is an organic compound utilized in biological dyeing and proteomics research. It inhibits melanogenesis in B16F10 cells by upregulating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and suppresses the expression of MITF, tyrosinase (TYR), TRP1, and DCT. Additionally, Orcinol demonstrates some DPPH radical scavenging activity and can influence nitrogen balance in animals. It shows potential for research in cancer and metabolic diseases.
- Exhibits low radical scavenging activity and cytotoxicity.
- Inhibits melanogenesis in B16F10 cells.
- Inhibits expression of melanogenesis-related genes by upregulating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.
