Abstract

Six compounds were isolated from the leaves of Celosia argentea L.. Tyrosinase inhibitory and superoxide scavenging activity of the compounds was examined so as to obtain a skin depigmentation agent for cosmetic application. Eugenyl O-β-D-glucopyranoside (citrusin C, 1) showed strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Two-step inhibitory effects of successive tyrosine and DOPA oxidation for tyrosinase were stronger compared to arbutin used commercially at present (47.20% inhibition of tyrosine oxidation and 87.93%, DOPA oxidation, compared to 63.00% for tyrosine and 7.70% for DOPA oxidation in the case of arbutin). Moreover, we succeed in providing compound 1 abundantly in the synthetic study which used acetobromo-α-D-glucose and Sn(OTf)2.
