Abstract

The methanol extract of Cassia auriculata seeds was found to inhibit melanogenesis in B16 melanoma 4A5 cells under conditions of theophylline stimulation. Two new phlegmacin-type anthracenone dimer glycosides, auriculataosides A and B, were isolated from the active methanol fraction, and their inhibitory effects were observed in the concentration range of 0.03 to 0.3 μM. Inhibition of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, and TRP-2 protein expression was observed, suggesting that the inhibition of these factors is part of the mechanism of action underlying melanogenesis inhibition.
