Effects of Hizikia fusiforme Fractions on Melanin Synthesis in B16F10 Melanoma Cells

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-melanogenic effects of Hizikia fusiforme (HF) fractions in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone-induced B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. Ethanol extractions of Hizikia fusiforme (EEHF) were subjected to fraction by using dichloromethane (CFHF), ethyl acetate (EAFHF), butanol (BFHF), and water (WFHF). EEHF, CFHF, and EAFHF inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. The melanin contents were inhibited… Show more

“…Other algae species that possess anti-melanogenic activity include Fucus vesiculosus [46], Hizikia fusiformis [69], Ishige foliacea [71,72], Petalonia binghamiae [78], Sargassum polycystum, Schizymenia dubyi [39], Undaria pinnatifida [91]. The evidence indicated that bioactive compounds from seaweeds have great potential to be used as skin whitening and depigmentation agents.…”
