Optimizing the extraction of <i>Saussurea involucrate</i> flavonoids (SIFs) and exploring the ability to block melanin deposition caused by reactive oxygen can greatly promote the development of <i>S. involucrate</i> whitening products.

The reducing activity and scavenging rates of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, and ABTS<sup>+</sup> were promoted as more <i>S. involucrate</i> flavonoid extract was added. The SIFs extract induced a decrease in the melanin synthesis by inhibiting the human melanoma A375 cell tyrosinase activity. SIFs also depress expression of melanin synthesis related genes.

The extract of SIFs exhibited good ability of antioxidant and anti-deposition of melanin in human melanocytes.https://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/25/2/313<i>saussurea involucrate</i>ultrasonic extraction processresponse surfaceantioxidanthuman melanoma a375 cells |
