Abstract

This study reports depigmenting potency of 1,3-selenazol-4-one derivatives. which would be based upon the finding of direct inhibition to mushroom tyrosinase. 1,3-Selenazol-4-one derivatives exhibited inhibitory effect on dopa oxidase activity of mushroom tyrosinase. In this study. inhibitory effects of six kinds of 1,3-selenazol-4-one derivatives (3a, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3g and 3i) on mushroom tyrosinase were investigated. (omitted)
