.ALPHA.-Lipoic Acid Inhibits Melanogenesis in Three-dimensional Human Skin Model

Abstract: The overproduction of pigmentary melanin in the skin causes an undesirable cosmetic appearance. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the inhibitory effect of α-lipoic acid (LA) on melanogenesis using a three-dimensional human skin model with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. It is evident that melanin biosynthesis in human skin cells was decreased by the treatment with LA under the concentration range from 0.01 to 0.1% (w/v) in a concentration-dependent fashion, reflecting no effect on cell viability.
